Hello! I'm Gao-Gao 高高, a Chinese linguist and university lecturer based in Paris.
I hold a PhD in linguistics and currently work at a university in France. Language has always been both my academic research field and my passion.
Over the past 12 years, I have taught Chinese to students from many different backgrounds — beginners, university students, and professionals. I enjoy meeting learners from around the world and seeing how each person approaches language differently.
Besides teaching, I am interested in Chinese linguistics, dialects, and how languages work across cultures.Me as a Teacher
My teaching style is clear, structured, and supportive.
Because of my background in linguistics, I focus on helping students understand how Chinese actually works, instead of only memorizing phrases. Once you see the logic behind the language, learning becomes much easier. My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, we usually work on:
🗣 speaking and conversation
📚 grammar explained clearly
✍️ useful vocabulary and expressions
Lessons are adapted to your level and goals, whether you are learning Chinese for travel, work, or personal interest.
I am patient and supportive, and I try to make my classes lively and enjoyable. At the same time, I care about real learning and progress. I encourage students to participate actively in class, and sometimes I may give a little homework so you can continue practicing after the lesson.My teaching material

If you wish to learn Chinese literature, I highly recommend Gao Gao laoshi! My lessons with her on Tang and Song poetry over the course of several months have been most rewarding. Not only is she very knowledgeable and good at explaining complex ideas, she plans the learning journey over the months very well and skillfully accommodates my learning needs in each session.

Les cours sont toujours bien préparés et enrichi d'exemples et de sujet de société donc on apprend beaucoup de vocabulaire utile, avec un petit "compte-rendu" après chaque cours.
J'ai fait beaucoup de progrès depuis le début des cours.
