In our trial lessons I hope we can get to know each other a little and I can learn where you are with your Chinese learning so I can know how best to help you with your studies. We can discuss which methods are most helpful to you and what you hope to gain from our time together.

These lessons are ideal for students who are learning Chinese in the classroom, or preparing for HSK exams, or simply need to improve their basic grammar structures. I suggest we practice grammar structures from the Chinese grammar wiki (https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar), at whatever rate or level is best suited to you. I can answer any questions or difficulties you have with the grammar, and we can have a free conversation using these structures.

For intermediate learners, I find conversational lessons work best when we choose a topic in advance, and prepare a few questions relating to that topic. This gives our lessons a useful structure, while still keeping the class open and relaxed. I am happy to talk about anything you like, or I can suggest topics for us to discuss.

For more advanced learners, these lessons can be as open or as structured as you would like. I will try to keep the conversation going in Chinese as much as possible, while providing help with new vocabulary as required. I am happy to talk about anything you like, or I can suggest topics for us to discuss.

In this course, we'll begin by covering Pinyin, the origins of Chinese characters, and basic grammar. If you're starting from scratch, don't worry—we'll start at the HSK1 level. Along the way, I'll also delve into the cultural significance of Chinese characters and their origins.
