Learning Chinese is an adventure that opens the door to a world of new opportunities and cultural discoveries. At Upward, we have dedicated instructors who use their experience and deep knowledge to help students on this Chinese journey. Today we speak with one of our leading instructors about the challenges of learning Chinese, strategies for success, and Upward’s unique approach.
What Inspired You to Become a Lecturer?
“For me, lecturing is not just a profession, it is a great responsibility and mission,” explains our instructor. “I have always had a desire to share what I have learned, especially in a field such as Chinese language and culture.”
The inspiration comes from those unique moments when genuine interest and excitement for Chinese culture appears in a student’s eyes. This is the feeling that gives every lecturer motivation and drives their passion for teaching.
Cultural Discovery and Impact
There are several fascinating aspects connected to Chinese language and culture. “Everything related to the Chinese language and culture is incredibly interesting,” notes our instructor. The process of learning the language and building business relationships with Chinese people opens the door to a completely new world, which becomes a significant part of life experience.
Tips for Effective Learning
Embrace the Challenge
The most important advice is that students should not be afraid of the language’s difficulties – hieroglyphs, tones, and different thinking styles. “All this seems strange and difficult at first, but daily study and progress in small steps is very effective.”
Focus on the Process
Daily work and gradual progress awakens motivation, energy, and purposefulness in students. Over time, the difficulties that exist at the beginning transform into simplicity and become a source for setting new goals.
Most Common Challenges and Solutions
Typical Difficulties Include:
- Distinguishing tones
- Memorizing hieroglyphs
- Understanding listening comprehension
- Fear of starting conversations
Strategies for Overcoming Them:
Our instructor advises students: “Make mistakes, don’t wait for perfect preparation to start a conversation, feel open and free.”
Modern Approach:
- Use modern technologies
- Create a language learning system tailored to your abilities
- Language should be not only an ordinary subject, but also a part of everyday life
