Chuan 串

After many lessons with Chuan, my Chinese learning skyrocketed. Like any beginner, I came in having poor pronunciation, knew only a few characters, and could speak only on basic terms. But now we finished reading two different books without pinyin while also discussing the content in Chinese. Last lesson were even able to talk about people's different views in life. It's unbelievable how much I have achieved with Chuan老师 help and I'm very excited to reach fluency with her guidance.

It is so hard to believe that in just 3 months I have been able to make such great progress. Every lesson with Chuan gives me more and more vocabulary and confidence in not only creating sentences, but now speaking them with a rhythm.... rather than the painful one word pause, one word pause sentences...

Chuan is an excellent teacher. Her lesson was challenging, interesting and enjoyable. During the lesson she corrected my mispronunciation of words, helped me with proper word selection and grammar, and engaged me in a lively discussion of about athletics. I really enjoyed this lesson and I look forward to studying with her again in the immediate future. Thank you, laoshi!

We had our sixth lesson with Chuan today. It's a lot of fun and the time flies by. We learn letters and words with Mandarin Blueprint, an online course, and use our lessons with Chuan to practise speaking and understanding. It gets easier every time and if we don't understand something or are missing words, Chuan helps us by pointing, miming or writing them down. At the end of each lesson, we receive a script with the content discussed and homework to revise. We always look forward to the next lesson.

Dies war unsere erste Stunde auf Italki und es hat viel Spaß gemacht. Die Zeit mit Chuan verging wie im Fluge und wir sind sehr motiviert für die nächste Stunde.

I had an awesome first class with Chuan!! She is enthusiastic, interesting, and encouraging! She immediately made me feel at ease despite my initial nervousness to speak. I highly recommend her and am looking forward to our next class.
