Mandarin Tutor

Hey I wanted to know if anyone could recommend a good cheap private tutor so that I can learn Mandarin. I KNOW, we're in Vietnam but I'm honestly not that interested in learning Vietnamese. Mandarin is more useful for my work. Thanks.

Hi,

I think it is a good idea learning Chinese for many reasons, the pronunciation is easier than Vietnamese, it is more popular, and it is useful for you and for your future if you wanna study Vietnamese. It is a fact that 70% Vietnamese words have Chinese origin. Chinese is extremely similar to Vietnamese. You may ask why I know this.

I am a Vietnamese but I have study Chinese for 6 years, included 5 years attending university in China (1 year in Beijing and 4 years in Tianjin (100 km away from Beijing)). Believe me, both my Chinese and English are good enough to be a good tutor. Maybe my Chinese is not that good but my pronunciation is much better than many people from southern China who are studying here, I can promise you that, you also can have a Chinese guy to check it. Its just like a German who spent 5 years in Washington DC is better than a Texan guy.

And I will be your free tutor, for now I'm studying English. My cell phone is 09 7898 7892. Think about it.

See you soon.

Micheal.

actually, you are not crazy, if you think you are ;-) I'm studying Chinese here at the Hanoi state university. When people ask me why I am doing it here not in China, I say I don't know ( I'm doing a 4 year bachelor degree in Chinese through Vietnamese). to make more sense I'm not Vietnamese originally. Anyway, there are loads of Chinese students in Hanoi, probably all of them be back from the 1st of Sept.) I gonna catch one for myself, think can grab one for you;-). Well, anyway leave a message
