All is not lost...
If you've tried to learn to speak Chinese before, only to discover that you didn't seem to have the "knack" for languages... Or if you've always wanted to learn how to speak Chinese, but heard that it's a difficult language to conquer... You're not alone. I know how it feels. I've been in exactly the same shoes learning other foreign languages - even now with Spanish. ... Maybe I can help My name is Alex Foo, and as a Cambridge University-Certified language instructor who grew up speaking both English AND Chinese, I've spent the past few years teaching people in China, Sydney and Perth, Australia how to begin speaking Chinese, quickly, easily, and naturally -- in just 58 minutes! And I just want you to know, |
It's not your fault!
Out of possibly frustration, boredom and maybe even desperation - you're looking for something better to help you. You're probably now learning Chinese or exploring through one or a combination of:
...which almost all look the same... (A little later I'll share why this is so) |
"I have bought several Chinese language books, tapes and CD's in the past but have made very little progress... 23 July 2007 "Hi Alex, Yes, I have received all the audios and videos... I have bought several Chinese language books, tapes and CD's in the past but have made very little progress trying to learn to speak,read and write all at once. However, with your lessons and methods, the language is actually sinking in!!! Regards Shelley Higgs |
Ever been running high on motivation
and diving into that book or course...?
I remember vividly what one of my first students in Sydney, Richard Wong - a New Zealand-born Chinese said: "Our evening class was full at 25 students, all eager to learn Chinese. The next week was the same - everyone turned up. In the 3rd week, there were 2 empty seats... and the week after, 2 more... Week after week, people stopped coming, starting to drop like flies, 18, 15, 11, 7. By the end of the course there were only 5 of us, 'sticking at it' all the way.
I don't know about you but the prospect of being 'stuck at it' seems like a lotta hard work and not much fun to me. And unfortunately, it's a common fact. It was very interesting for me to receive the following email from Antida, who works at a Chinese Cultural Centre in Malta (an ex-British colony in the Mediterranean) |
"Every day as I go in my office 6 September 2007 "Ni Hao,Alex Foo, This centre is to promote the Chinese Culture in our Island. They give lessons in Chinese language. Since I've been working here the Chinese offered me complimentary lessons. But I have to stay after work and I don't have that time. I have no time to come in the evening again after work and besides your lessons are very interesting and effective. I like learning with you. Every day as I go in my office I look forward to opening your emails. They are so interesting. Thaks alot for the new Chinese words you are teaching me. I'm getting along fine thanks to you. It's very interesting and exciting. So keep up the good work. Regards Antida Troisi |
I'm very sad, as a Chinese where people are eager to learn about my culture and language and yet find it so frustrating with the current system and give up - and what you just saw is just so common. |
"When I first encountered ChinaSpeak I was bit sceptical... July 2004 "When I first encountered ChinaSpeak I was bit sceptical but now that I have fully experienced it for a number of weeks I recommend it to anyone who wants to speak Mandarin. The 3 key things that make this different from other courses are: Friendly intimate style - the class sizes are small so you get to develop a real rapport with him, who can adjust to your personality and focus on you as an individual. Improved learning retention - with the individual attention and the focus on getting key content right during each lesson, my retention of what has been taught is much higher than my experience through community college courses. Flexibility - Working in a managerial position means I cannot always stick to a schedule as much as I would like to. With Alex, there is greater flexibility to fit things into my schedule and therefore ensure I can relax and learn rather than worrying about what is happening at work." If you want to try something that works, you should give Alex a go. Richard Wong |
You'll be speaking real Mandarin Chinese
... by the end of your very FIRST lesson
The secret to my approach to teaching Chinese is surprisingly simple... I help you learn the language the way nature intended! NO textbooks... NO rote memorization... NO grammar rules to study... NO books to read... NO lists of words to parrot back...
I've been teaching (and learning!) languages long enough to know that those standard classroom techniques just don't work! Chances are they just make you feel like a failure -- because it's almost impossible to learn from them. And the best thing is: |
You Don't have to Rush to class like a maniac after work |
|
You Don't have to constantly reschedule your diary with your tutor |
|
You Don't have to pay for fuel driving | |
You're running late and you Dont have to stress, spending 11 minutes circling around the block looking for parking | |
You Don't have to Pay more for parking or worry about fines | |
You Don't have to spend time stuck in traffic or squashed like a sardine going to and from class | |
You Don't have to waste money buying extra books which you'll hardly touch | |
You Don't have to learn obscure things which you'll hardly ever use | |
You Don't have to get to class
|
"... I am now able to participate in conversations..." "I was doing the course because of an upcoming placement in China. Before commencing the course I thought I might learn enough to ask for help or if anybody spoke English. After completing the course I am now able to participate in conversations, order food and drinks, shop and ask for directions. I am looking forward to using my new-learnt skills in China! Matthew Montgomery |
How you can start speaking Chinese very quickly
in a very short space of time
I'm going to reveal to you the so-called earth-shattering way to learn any foreign language. Ready? If you took a traditional course, this is what you get: ... Yup, a tangled mess of "words" |
Get clarity
We've sorted out the mess for you. We've cleaned and cleared the confusion. From many years of observation, research and personal experience, I've put the Chinese into the core components -the essential, common, high-usage base building blocks, This is NOT memorising a mile-long list of phrases instead, get equipped with building blocks like synergisers, pacers, bridges, bricks and mortars... ...into a system, guiding you to very quick heights, growing at a rapid rate to help heighten your speaking and listening... giving you the freedom and ability to |
Build on your momentum and motivation
Keep your motivation alive When you start feeling and seeing how quick and easy it is you're learning and speaking, you feel like jumping and pumping your fist into the air with triumph - you'll feel like flying! Capitalise on the momentum you've built to build your foundation more into a solid tower: With a firm base, now you've got height and now that you've got a firm foundation |
Expand your world
With height now stable, you want to plant the seeds to the garden to make it bloom into a beautiful creation. This is where the Chinese you've built from your foundation starts to become a part of you... and the Chinese starts flowing out of you naturally, like musical notes from a piano, sweet songs from a bird into:
... growing your garden into practical speaking fluency. |
And the important thing is to first get
you up and running
- feeling the fruits of your efforts
|
From Frustration and chaos... ...to Happiness, Calm and Fun |
In OUR courses, we'll just relax, have lots of fun, enjoy each others' company... and talk! If you're not here, then along with this natural, relaxed approach to language learning, you'll get your own videos and audios to start learning to speak as fast as you like. Watching the videos is as if you were in a private class with me in front of you but not with the hassles of running around after work to late evening classes for 2 hours or more at a time. And the best thing is: |
Imagine the big, warm smiles on the faces of the Chinese you meet when you start speaking full sentences and questions...
"...I was able to impress Jade’s mother a few days later March 2004 "Both my partner Jade and I were very impressed with Alex’s style of training and we enjoyed his laid back, friendly demeanour. He is good because he leaves you with a sort of flexible question/answer combination that you can use to practice with one another. Also, the fact that he left us with no written notes actually motivated us to remember the words and I was able to impress Jade’s mother a few days later with what I had learnt! Before being too sceptical, I recommend that you at least take the opportunity to experience his lessons. Herman Volpe |

"Lessons were fun and interactive... "This has been a great experience. Lessons were fun and interactive. I did not realise learning Chinese could be so easy. Classes gave me more confidence in my abilities to converse + speak Chinese in a short space of time. Lessons were held in the afternoon afer work decreasing my motivation to participate. However besides this, everything was great! Alicia Chew |
"The lessons greatly exceeded my expectations... "Initially I thought learning Chinese would be extremely difficult. However after the first class, with Alex using a very clever + innovative way of teaching (ie telling the stories), I knew that learning Chinese would not be such a challenge. The claases were really fun + dynamic + energising. I enjoyed the ChinaSpeak classes a lot and I think Alex is a great teacher + very encouraging + helpful. The lessons greatly exceeded my expectations. Brighid Bourke |
"I found the practical application useful" "Wo xihuan ChinaSpeak! (I like ChinaSpeak! See how much I know! I found the practical application useful. I think I would find some vocab sheets more of a help for remembering - because when you have the word written, it can clarify maybe pronunciation - with - oral technique. Otherwise it was fun + interesting + helpful. Rebecca Osbourne |
