Zoe

Hello there! I'm Zoe, and I was born and raised in China. I come from Nanjing, a city with a long history and lots of delicious food—you should try duck blood vermicelli soup if you get the chance! I've been teaching Chinese for 1 year now. Every time I see my students go from struggling to say simple words like "nǐ hǎo" (hello) to being able to talk about their days in Chinese smoothly, I feel really happy. I love Chinese culture so much—from ancient poems to traditional festivals like Spring Festival. And I also love traveling. When I travel to other countries, I enjoy using a few words of the local language to communicate, which makes me realize how fun language learning can be. That's why I want to make learning Chinese fun for you too! In my classes, if you're shy to speak at first, we can play role - playing games, like pretending to be in a Chinese restaurant or a shop. If Chinese characters seem hard, we'll play word games—for example, the character "sēn" (forest) is made up of three "mù" (tree) characters, so you can remember it as "many trees make a forest". Don't worry if you start late or make mistakes. Learning Chinese is like building with blocks—we'll take it step by step. Start with simple words and stories, and soon you'll be able to chat with Chinese friends about food, travel, and more. You'll also get to know more about Chinese culture, like why we love red during festivals. Come join my Chinese class! Let's have fun learning together.
