Mandarin Lessons

Hi there,


I'm eager to learn Mandarin and I've already taken intensive courses in Singapore for several weeks. I think I'm done with Mandarin 101 but I cannot pretend I have a good level though Laughing. I'm looking for a Mandarin native speaker only from China, as dialects and accents can be very disturbing when learning the basics. I want to learn Beijing-hua, not Shanghaïnese or Cantonese. Formal lessons in language schools or universities are too expensive. I'm looking for someone whom I can practice my communication skills with on a regular basis, like 2 or 3 times a week after work or on week-ends. I could be a simple conservation at a coffee shop or a lesson with a blackboard and a marker. I'm French and I'm willing to teach you French in exchange if that is your wish.


I look forward to hearing from you.


Best regards,


Vincent

Hi Vincent


If you are still looking for a Beijing person to help you with your Chinese in exchange for you helping the person with her French, I know someone who may be suitable for me. Please drop me a line to my personal email address [email protected] if you are still interested.


Regards Lisa
