anywebsite   10 #4 Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) It sounds more like you need to pay a tutor or join a class than ask students to me. Sheffield University do courses, here's a link: http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/confucius Edited June 15, 2013 by anywebsite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Then later date might join a group.  They do other courses, you could ask when the next one starts. Maybe you'd be more suited to the 12 week non-intensive course.

David_L Â Â 10 #8 Posted June 17, 2013 Hello! Â Glad to know that you'd like to learn Mandarin. I am a native Mandarin speaker and have many years of teaching experiences. Please send me a message if you are interested. Â By the way, what language book are you using? Â Bests, Â David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
David_L Â Â 10 #9 Posted June 18, 2013 I think there are two approaches when learning something new. First, if you are aiming for an examination or qualification, it will help to set up a goal or bar and a schedule for you to meet up with a desirable standard. Otherwise, enjoy yourself and go with the flow. Embrace the joy of learning. Try hard but not too hard. You might be surprised how far you can go unexpectedly!
