Learn Mandarin
(汉语(初级))
16 students have taken this course (in Montreal or online)
This course assists student to reach A2 level of Mandarin. At the end of the course, students will be able to read pinyin (the Chinese phonetic system), to greet in Chinese, to introduce oneself, to ask for directions, to make requests, etc. I strongly encourage group lessons! Bring your friends!
My approach is interactive, employing conversations, word games, video examples etc. I give clear instructions and prepare mnemonic devices to help memorize the materials.
The program consists of three semesters (2 hours/class. 22 classes/semester). Below is the schedule for the first two semesters.

Aileen est une très bonne professeur. Elle est patiente et très pédagogue. J'ai pu progresser rapidement grâce à elle.
Elle a aussi été très flexible dans l'organisation des cours et s'est adaptée à nos contraintes.
Je la recommande volontiers. Morgane, Montreal
Jielin was very accommodating and is a good and patient teacher. I appreciate and enjoy my time with her. I learn a lot and her strong focus on pronunciation is super helpful.GB, Montreal
Hi, I'm Aileen, a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese, from Shanghai, China. I have a Bachelor's degree in linguistics and anthropology from McGill University. Thanks to my training, I understand the common difficulties in learning a new language; therefore, I am very patient. It has been a pleasure helping my students build confidence in every aspect of learning Chinese language. I have been teaching Mandarin for six years.
Bonjour, je suis Aileen et je suis originaire de Chine. Le mandarin est ma langue maternelle. J'ai terminé le lycée en Chine et je suis venue à Montréal pour poursuivre et terminer mon baccalauréat en linguistique et anthropologie à l'Université McGill. Grâce à cette formation, je comprends bien les difficultés liées à l'apprentissage d'une nouvelle langue. J'ai donc appris aussi la patience et le courage. Ce fut pour moi un grand plaisir d'aider mes élèves à développer la confiance face à tous les aspects de la langue chinoise. J'enseigne le mandarin depuis six ans.
