Spoken Chinese specialist
Cathy Li
4+ years teaching
The teacher for pronunciation, and for getting a sentence out of your mouth.
Cathy teaches spoken Chinese, and her classes are built around situations rather than lists: ordering, asking directions, arguing about a price. She holds a BA in teaching Chinese, and works mostly on pronunciation — the initials, the finals and the tones that give people away.
If your reading is ahead of your speaking, this is the lesson that closes the gap.
