I have been teaching mandarin for a long period in China before I studied in Sweden, and I reckon that there are more and more swedes are interested in Chinese culture and the language, even if mandarin is regarded as one of the most difficult language around the globe. In my mandarin class, you will be learning the language through games, performances and storytelling etc.
I come from a city which is called Urumqi located in north west of China. So to speak, I basically come from the region that people there speaks quite standard mandarin. So my students don’t worry if you will be learning any other dialects from me.
I believe the reason why most of people want to learn mandarin is either interests and hobbies or work demand. Therefore, I'd like my students to focus more on listening and speaking the language, even if reading and writing is also important. I genuinely hope that my students will be acquiring knowledge and inspired to speak out in the language with self confidence through a joyful and creative atmosphere in my mandarin class.
