Description |
I am seeking to develop full fluency in speaking and reading Mandarin Chinese, as I anticipate career advancement for this particular skill. My proficiency level can be described as conversationa l in terms of speaking (as I speak it at home with family), and minimal in terms of reading. I would like to improve both of these to the level of high proficiency- capable of discussing complex and abstract concepts. To start, I seek to develop the ability to read newspaper articles practically effortlessly. I am willing to devote as much time as possible to learning the language effectively.

Description |
I am a graduate student in music at the University of Texas at Austin. I am a beginner level student wanting to learn Mandarin because of my heritage. I am of Chinese descent (father born in Mainland), but I was never taught Mandarin. My goal is to be fluent and to be able to raise my children to be bilingual. I went to Beijing this summer and studied at the Beijing Language and Culture University in their 4 week intensive course. I would like to reinforce and continue on with my knowledge from this summer. I have been continuing study using Rosetta Stone and am very dedicated to learning the language. I had hoped to have class once a week and tutoring once a week, but cannot find a class that fits my schedule. I prefer a teacher that is very thorough and open to questions from the student, as well as very interested in my personal goals. Strict is also welcomed!

I am trying to learn Chinese Mandarin and just began a class. However, because of my travel to Taiwan I sometimes miss the class. I need a tutor in Taiwan for a week or weekend. I will be traveling to Taiwan every other month.
If interested in tutoring me, I will need 3 to 4 hour sessions after working hours.
I need to know tutor's fee and time availability.

First let me say that this profile is set up not only for myself, but for my boyfriend as well - we want to learn something together.
Proficiency Level ------ ----------- I am very much a beginner with Japanese - in fact, I just started working on it very recently. My boyfriend took some Japanese in college, so he has a better grasp. He will of course, need some refreshing. This is something that we want to work on together. As for the other languages, this representatio n is generally the same - I am an absolute beginner and my boyfriend knows some about it.
Reason for Learning --- -------------- -- I think learning a language other than English is important because it gives you insight to other cultures and it can also be a boon in a career. This is the reason that I want to learn Japanese (as well as the other listed languages). My boyfriend is very much into languages (and has essentially set his life to to studying language). Japanese (as well as the other languages) is a language that we both find interesting and useful (obviously for different reasons - but that is moot, really).
A reas of Improvement -------------- ------ Both of us really need help from the beginning (again) - grammar, conversation, writing, the whole package.
A mount of Time to Dedicate --- -------------- --------- We' re willing to dedicate some time every day to work on language study/practic e. I can't really say how much (as I'm sure it will vary), but I will estimate that we could swing at least an hour every day.
Quali ties in a Teacher ---- -------------- ---- The qualities that we are looking for in a teacher are relatively simple. We want someone that is fluent in the language (prefer someone that is fluent in all forms of writing, too - but there might be exceptions), someone that is serious but fun to work with, someone that is down to earth and friendly, and someone that is not arrogant. Both of us have had classes in the past with arrogant teachers and we do not want to be a part of that anymore. We need a teacher that can get the message across (I'm a little slower on languages, and my boyfriend is a little faster) but keep us both interested. Another factor is cost - we want a tutor that isn't horribly expensive. Overall, we want structure - but we don't want it so rigid that we become uninterested.
