Student Hana-chan I won first place in a Chinese speech contest in half a year, even though I didn't speak Chinese at all!
profile:From the first year of high school with no experience learning Chinese, he won first place in the "National High School Chinese Speech Contest" (sponsored by Kyoto University of Foreign Studies) in just half a year. During the speech practice, thorough guidance was given focusing on the Chinese pronunciation method that Hana-chan suited, the "more accurate and beautiful" Chinese pronunciation, and the unique expressiveness of Chinese speech.
After graduating from high school, my Chinese skills, such as my Chinese "speech award history" and Chinese language proficiency, were highly evaluated, and my long-awaited job at an airline company came true!
I think the biggest advantage of taking lessons from Mr. Xie is that you can learn “live Chinese”.
It is not easy to learn Chinese, which is said to be difficult to pronounce, from scratch and make it your second and third language.
After entering high school, I had zero knowledge of Chinese, but I was able to win first place in the national high school Chinese speech contest in half a year after entering high school. Because there was dedicated guidance such as demeanor.
It took about 3 months to prepare for the school competition, the prefectural competition, and the national competition.
Thanks to the Chinese spoken by native speakers, I was able to listen to it smoothly, passed Level 3 of the Chinese Language Proficiency Test, and had a smooth conversation with an international student from China.
After graduating from high school, my Chinese language skills, such as winning Chinese speech awards and obtaining certification, were highly evaluated, and my long-awaited job at an airline company came true!
I think that the best environment for Chinese, which has many pronunciations that are unfamiliar to Japanese people, is an environment where you can teach Chinese that you can make use of, like Mr. Xie.

・Reasons for choosing Dr. Xie
First of all, the existing Chinese class was quite expensive. And the countermeasure was the center exam. Also, the level of the words I didn't understand was different (I didn't understand what was easy, and on the contrary, I knew what was difficult), so it was difficult to study by myself.
・The reason why I was able to continue with Dr. Hsieh for a long time
This is because he taught me carefully (information sharing using google spreadsheets, collecting information on past questions, etc.).
After that, it is a countermeasure that matches the level that was difficult to do alone.
・ What was good about the lesson
He taught me very enthusiastically and carefully. Therefore, we received a lot of detailed feedback and analysis. Especially in my case, I had them watch the center test, which is not often taught in ordinary Chinese classes. Despite the lack of materials, I was very impressed and grateful that he collected past questions and similar problems and gave me guidance. Not only that, I was able to enjoy studying because it was very easy to interact with.

Xie continues to learn shamisen and Okinawan folk songs from Uta-chan.

-I'm about to teach you about Chinese culture.
-I'm about to teach you according to my current Chinese level.
・What I was able to do through the lesson ・What I was able to achieve

Student Hime-chan won 2nd place in the National High School Chinese Speech Contest!

During the speech practice, we thoroughly instructed Hime-chan on how to pronounce Chinese, "more accurate and beautiful" Chinese pronunciation, and the unique expressiveness of Chinese speech.

Currently, he is active locally as a representative of a major Japanese company in Shanghai, China.
Thanks to Mr. Xie's easy-to-understand and accurate guidance, I was able to continue studying Chinese.
Pronunciation is the most difficult and important part of learning Chinese. When I first started learning Chinese, I had a lot of trouble and almost gave up many times, but he pointed out where I wasn't doing well, and patiently continued to teach me until I was able to do it.
I also remember that I was able to master the difficult pronunciation as soon as I learned the tricks from Mr. Xie.
Now that my pronunciation is being praised by native speakers, it makes me very happy and confident.
After meeting Ms. Hsieh and gaining confidence in my Chinese, I wanted to improve my Chinese even more, so I took on the challenge of studying abroad in Shanghai and Taiwan, and was able to pass the HSK Level 6.
After getting a job, I am working in Shanghai as an expatriate, making use of my Chinese ability.
For those who are just starting Chinese, those who have failed once, and those who want to improve their Chinese to a higher level,
Ms. Xie is flexible and sincere, so I hope you will enjoy learning Chinese with Ms. Xie!

1. They suggest suitable teaching materials for my situation.
2. She is constantly improving her teaching methods and content to suit my needs and study habits.
3. Outside of lessons, I always get timely answers on WeChat to my questions and concerns that come up during self-study. Even if it's almost midnight, the teacher will answer any questions or doubts that come up during my self-study.
・Future goals
Right now, my number one goal is to solidify my language skills before I go to Japan to study or find a job. If possible, I would like to pass the Japanese Language Proficiency Test N3 or higher while I am in China before going to Japan.
