Living in Harbin, China

Hi everyone! My name is Yan Zi 燕子. I’m a native Chinese speaker and now living in Harbin where has the most standard mandarin pronunciation. Singing, dancing and cooking are always my prior choice in free time and I also have started doing yoga everyday since 4 months ago. I want to make everyday meaningful so that although 51 years old, I still have a high requirement to my body shape and I am learning English everyday now. My character: passionate, friendly and patient. Look forward to making friends on italki! As a Chinese tutor, I have 100% confidence to teach you the most standard Chinese mandarin pronunciation. I will also teach you many phrases, idioms and proverbs based on different topics. I’m willing to introduce Chinese traditional culture, historic attractions and some delicious food to you. Meanwhile, to know how to get along with Chinese and to be properly in some specific situation are also very important. I'd like to share my experience with you. I believe you’ll love China. My lessons focus on conversation practice. In my opinion, the grammar of Chinese isn’t very logical and the best way to speak Chinese like a native speaker is to talk with Chinese and to use the correct sentence structure again and again. Honestly, I’m not very good at speaking English now so to teach a beginner is really difficult for me. I believe you can get what you want in my lesson. Look forward to our lesson!

I have been learning Chinese with Yanzi for over two years. She has been helping me improve my reading and writing skills. Every week we read articles that I pick and she helps me with my pronunciation. She is enthusiastic and her lessons are enjoyable. I will continue to take her lessons. 我觉得曲老师是很好的老师。她帮助我学习中文。现在我可以读新闻的文章。我也可以写自己的文章。每周我跟老师读一个文章。老师也改变我读错的发音。我很喜欢老师的课。

Another excellent lesson. I still have trouble pronouncing words like 词 and 去 and Yan Zi is wonderfully patient and willing to iterate over the words. I had to cut the lesson a few minutes short due to a personal emergency, but we had already covered a lot.

很棒的一堂课,老师聊天总是很有趣。我们已经学过李白的一些诗了。 以我的中文水平,可能不适合学李白的诗。这些字往往是陌生的,不为人所知的。另一个问题是,这些词不是由两个字组成的,而是由一个字组成的。 然而,这给你提供了一个线索,让你了解中文是如何构成的,以便比我所知道的任何其他语言都更准确地表达情感。
