a digital nomad traveling around the world 🌎 **Learn Mandarin That Actually Sounds Natural — with Shelly** Hi, I'm Xia Li (Shelly), a digital nomad who's lived across Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. I'm endlessly curious about people and cultures, and I bring that into every lesson. I offer two lesson tracks: **🗣️ Casual Conversation** Relaxed, judgment-free chats about anything — travel, culture, food, even deep philosophical topics you'd never get from a textbook. Gentle corrections, real confidence, no pressure. **💼 Business Chinese** Degree in Foreign-Related Law + years in Hong Kong's corporate/trust industry. I help professionals communicate confidently with Chinese partners: - Meetings, negotiations, presentations - Financial, legal, corporate vocabulary - Business culture & unwritten rules Worked in HK's bilingual corporate world, so I explain why a phrase works in English but not Chinese — you'll communicate, not just translate. **🛠️ Teaching Style** Fastest way to learn is to talk. Lessons are relaxed, encouraging, with clear, practical feedback. - Helped an Italian student fix years of self-taught pronunciation habits - Provided EN-CN legal/business translation for HK companies - Private tutor for native Chinese primary students 📩 Ready to speak with more confidence? Book a trial lesson — let's chat!
