Friend-Style Chinese Conversation Practice with Linn

arrow icon
Struggling to find someone patient enough to actually talk with you in Chinese? This class is designed to feel less like a lesson and more like a conversation with a friend.

As a native Chinese speaker and university student fluent in English, I bring both linguistic accuracy and genuine empathy. I know firsthand what it’s like to learn a second language, and I’ll treat you like a younger version of myself.

What each session looks like:

• I always come prepared with topics, so you never have to stress about what to say
• We talk freely, you drive the direction, I keep things flowing
• At the end, I give calm, clear corrections so you learn without interruption
• You can also bring homework, writing samples, or reading questions, I’m happy to review anything

My strengths:
✓ Native Mandarin speaker
✓ Fluent in English, no communication barrier
✓ Patient, encouraging, easy to talk to
✓ Rich knowledge of Chinese culture, history, and the Eastern perspective
✓ Always prepared, you just show up and talk

About Me
Hi! I’m Lin, a native Mandarin speaker and university student based in the Netherlands. I’m fluent in English, which means there’s no communication barrier between us. I can explain things clearly in a way that actually makes sense to you.

My teaching style is simple: I talk with you like a friend. I always come prepared with topics, so you never have to worry about what to say. We have a natural conversation, and at the end I’ll gently correct your mistakes so you can improve without feeling interrupted or judged.

I’ve been a second-language learner myself, so I truly understand how frustrating it can be. I’m extremely patient, easy to talk to, and genuinely invested in your progress.☺️

Beyond language, I also have a strong background in Chinese history and culture, so our conversations can go well beyond textbook topics. Let's explore the Eastern world together!
