Mandarin for heritage speakers: If you grew up as a passive speaker of basic Mandarin at home with your family but you do not speak, read, or write Mandarin confidently enough to be able to navigate China, Yongjian can help bridge the gap between passive understanding and active communication so your next trip to China can be as smooth as possible.
Accent coaching: Is your Chinese almost perfect, but you have trouble with certain tones and sounds? Do people tell you that you have a “foreign” accent? Through these one-on-one sessions, I will work with you to improve your accent through a comprehensive phonological approach to help you sound like a native speaker.
Survival Chinese for beginners: Don’t have a lot of time and have a very basic level of Chinese? In this 3-hour intensive crash course, I will go over the basics of Mandarin Chinese and teach you the essential survival phrases that you will need in China. I will also recommend free resources that you can find online to continue studying Chinese at your own pace. You will also receive a complimentary PDF guide with the commonly used phrases grouped by category (dining, shopping, etc).
Stay tuned for more information in the upcoming weeks while we make the final preparations to launch these classes!
