Stingy girl looking to learn Mandarin

Post by enginette » Mon, 24 May 2010 4:57 pm

Ni hao!

Wo jiao Deena, wo cong Xin Xin Lan lai. And that's about the extent of my Chinese.

I really want to learn Mandarin and I have been learning from a book (Living Language - Ultimate Chinese) but I need someone to practice speaking with, because the pronunciation always gets me. It would be good if I could work through the book with someone, maybe meet up once a week for an hour or two.

In return I can offer you a free coffee, perhaps a muffin if you're doing a good job.... If you're an actual teacher perhaps we can discuss an hourly rate, I'd like to do lessons it's just that I'm just starting a business so basically have no income, hence the stinginess...I hope this will change in the near future ><

I don't know why anyone would want to take time out of their day to teach me Mandarin for free but it's worth a shot asking here.... :D

I noticed you have asked many people for the same thing, did they not work out? Are you currently teaching other people Mandarin?

I don't mean to be picky but I'm hoping to learn the southern accent as that's where I spend more time in China

Jiutai-

Are you still teaching Mandarin?
I just moved to Singapore from HK and I would like to learn Mandarin since left and right people speak Mandarin here.

I was born and raise in NYC so in return I could exchange English =)

I'm currently not working so I'm quite flexible. Can I join ?

Hi All, i speak mandarin. Do not have to mention about learning or teaching, let's take it as a sharing session.

Do drop me an email @ [email protected] if you required or encouter assistances. Don't worry, it is F.O.C. I just trying to extend my helps to those who need it.

Its all about sharing and if you want, we can arrange with a number of others who are also keen, to have a sharing session maybe in town area..Maybe you can teach me your language... vice versa.

I'm just here to help and to share.

Cheers
