Chinese Mandarin for English or French speakers (Mandarin phonetics, daily expressions, speaking skills ...)

Van 19 € /h

Ready to speak Mandarin with confidence — without feeling lost or stressed?

This class is designed for English or French speakers who want practical, real-world Chinese. No boring theory. No impossible grammar. We focus on exactly what you need to start talking.

What you’ll get:
• Useful vocabulary for real situations: introducing yourself, ordering food, traveling, meeting new people, even small talk
• Clear pronunciation and tones, explained in a way that actually makes sense
• Simple sentence patterns you can reuse again and again
• Speaking practice in every class (not just listening)

How we work:
• I explain everything in English or French, so you always understand
• The pace is adapted to you — absolute beginners are 100% welcome
• You can tell me your goal (travel, work, everyday conversation, Chinese culture...) and I’ll personalize the lesson

By the end, you won’t just “study Chinese.” You’ll be able to introduce yourself, ask questions, and hold a basic conversation politely and naturally — and enjoy it.

Come learn Mandarin in a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere

Hi! I’m Yanzhu 彦竹 👋

Born in Chengdu — hometown of the giant panda 🐼 — I’m a Southern Chinese Gen Z who has spent the last 8 years living, studying, and working in France, Spain, and Ireland. My daily life is a mix of Mandarin, English, and French, so I understand exactly where learners struggle and how to explain things in a way that feels simple and logical (not scary).

My style is warm, patient, and very practical. I don’t just “teach vocabulary,” I teach you how to survive real situations: how to introduce yourself without panicking, how to order the food you actually want, how to sound polite in Chinese culture, and how to not sound like Google Translate 😄

What students usually like about my classes:
• I correct pronunciation in a nice way, not in a stressful way
• I explain tones with little tricks that are easy to remember
• I teach real phrases that native speakers actually use, not textbook robot sentences
• I adapt everything to your goal (travel / work / dating / making Chinese friends / just for fun)

My favorite moment is when a beginner says their first full sentence in Mandarin and realizes: “Wait... I can actually do this.”

If you’re looking for a teacher who is supportive, patient, culturally aware, and a little bit fun — I’d love to learn with you 🫶🥟✨

TECHNOLOGIES AT THE SERVICE OF LEARNING.

Hello,

My name is Laurie and I am an independent FLE teacher, graduated in French and Romance Languages and Literature since 2012. I have eight years of experience under my belt (abroad and in Belgium). I created a learning method for online courses. I have been preparing students for the DELF, DALF, TCF, FIDE, admission exams, etc. for several years.

The course includes:
-The material (articles, videos, exercises based on images and texts, grammatical theory, links to the exercises, etc.). I use google doc, so the ideal is to have a gmail address to be able to access it.
-Correction of exercises outside the course (written expressions are corrected outside the course, or with the student, depending on their needs).
-Access to an application (free) to study vocabulary on your smartphone.
-A vocabulary sheet - pronunciation - grammar/conjugation, sent after each lesson.
-If necessary, a recording of the vocabulary (for beginners).
-Carrying out online exercises and tests based on the vocabulary sheets sent.
-Motivation, laughter, good humor :-)

My method:
-It is oral based.
-For grammar, I use a particular method which allows oral structures to be automated.
-We work on pronunciation with the verbotonal method (exercises to pose your voice, for rhythm, etc.). I might even make you sing! :-)
-Everything goes through the oral before going through the writing but I obviously adapt to the needs of the students.
-The course is a little different for children and teenagers: I use interactive games and cards via the webcam.

See you soon!
Laurie
NB: Possibility of making an invoice for individuals or businesses.

To successfully do business in the DACH region, you have an advantage if you speak German.
Many companies from the Netherlands have business partners and customers there.

The lesson content is fully tailored to your goals and can also be adjusted during the lesson.
With over 20 years of experience in various industries and a business background in Germany, you can learn a lot about the cultural differences and idiosyncrasies.
