Acerca de mí
Profesor de italki desde 4 de Aug de 2023Tema de interésViajesComidaMúsica
Hola, soy Kai, un profesor de chino de China que vive en Minnesota desde 2018. Me encanta viajar y he visitado 25 estados. También he vivido en Rusia durante dos años, enseñando chino y explorando diferentes ciudades. Hablo mandarín, inglés, ruso, algo de español y un poco de francés. Creo que aprender idiomas es una forma excelente de conectar con personas de orígenes y culturas diferentes. En mi tiempo libre, me gusta hacer senderismo, montar en bicicleta, cantar y conocer gente nueva. Soy de mente abierta y creo que cualquiera puede aprender un nuevo idioma con el enfoque adecuado. Si quieres una profesora de chino profesional, paciente y apasionada por el aprendizaje de idiomas y el intercambio cultural, ¡trabajemos juntos!Mostrar idioma original

I have been taking lessons with Kai twice a week for several months now. I am relatively new to Mandarin, and Kai's support has been indispensable as I have slowly built up my knowledge of vocabulary and grammar. Kai is very patient and takes the time to explain everything very thoroughly. Just as importantly, his encouraging attitude makes it easier to learn, which can only happen if you make (many) mistakes. In short, Kai is a wonderful instructor and I would recommend him highly to anyone, regardless of their proficiency level.
