Learn Mandarin
19 students have taken this course (in Montreal or online)
My classes will be customized to your needs and levels. You will learn Mandarin pronunciation (Pinyin), vocabulary and conversations, as well as grammar. There will be an aural-oral emphasis, however you will learn how to write Chinese characters, too!
For speaking, I put emphasis on helping my students develop proper pronunciation, understanding the rules of sentences patterns and apply it properly.
For writing, I try to help my students understand how Chinese character represents the pronunciation and meanings, and then guide my students to memorize and write Chinese characters properly.
