How many of us learnt foreign languages at school,but how many can speak? Don't focus on grammar. As someone who’s learned English, French, and Italian, I *get* the rollercoaster of language learning—the frustration, the breakthroughs, and the joy of finally *speaking*. My focus? Helping you **communicate confidently in Mongolian** without drowning in grammar rules. Whether you’re starting from scratch or polishing your skills, I’ll tailor lessons to *your* goals—like ordering food or chatting with locals. Bonus: Love Mongolia’s culture or planning a trip? Ask me anything—I will tell you everything I know about Mongolia, what Mongolians are like, what to do and what not to do in Ulaanbaatar! :) As a teacher I understand the uniqueness of every students and aim of learning this beautiful language. I believe I can create a positive relaxed atmosphere where students feel comfortable and not afraid of asking questions or making mistakes. Since making mistakes is an essential part of learning and improving. I believe learning, especially language learning should be engaging and fun, and and most importantly relevant to your goal. I do not believe in traditional teaching method, you do not need to memorise 20 different animal names or vegetables but should be able to order food in a restaurant or ask the direction as a beginner student. How many of us have learnt foreign language at school for years and how many of us can speak the language fluently... Yes, there is a problem in the traditional teaching method, or too much grammar

Zaya’s classes are always well-structured, interesting and provide a great balance of conversation, reading and grammar, even from the very first lesson. She is very patient, kind and quick to adapt to the students’ levels and learning needs. I was very nervous at the beginning, since I didn’t know any Mongolian at all when we first started, but she got me speaking and smiling in no time! In addition, she is always happy to teach me anything I might want or need to know about Mongolian culture and life in Ulaanbaatar. I think of Zaya as not only my Mongolian teacher, but also as my friend. Thank you so much for the wonderful lessons, extra help and fun conversations! Маш их баярлалаа!

The teacher provided with the conversation practice a lot. The whole lesson was in Mongolian. The teacher encouraged me to speak more and helped with the structures and the words that I didn't know. It was helpful and great

My first lesson with Zaya was excellent. I am a complete beginner so she introduced basic grammar rules with me. She quizzed me throughout which really made me focus and understand. Заяа, танд баярлалаа!
