About Me
italki teacher since Jul 6, 2016
Hello, everyone, my name is Ju YANG. I am a Chinese living in Geneva, Switzerland. Through my life I have been privileged to study, work and travel in many countries. South America is the only continent that I have never visited. I speak Mandarin Chinese and English at the advanced level, French and German at the intermediate level, and with some exposure to Cantonese and Japanese as well. Besides language studies/teaching, I enjoy regular physical activities, reading on history and current affairs, classical music and socializing with my friends.
大家好。我在中国北方出生,现在住在瑞士日内瓦。我的母语是普通话,我也说英语,法语和德语。在2000年我离开中国内地相继在加拿大,瑞士和香港学习和工作。在过去近20年,我有机会通过学习和工作在很多国家旅行。除了爱好语言学习,我也喜欢健身,阅读,音乐和好友聚会。

Ju Yang is awesome! I could not have selected a better instructor to help me improve my language skills. Sixty minutes of class time with her is not enough. During the lesson she introduced me to new vocabulary, helped me with grammar, helped me with the proper enunciation, and shared her point of view with me on various topics. So, yes, Ju Yang is an excellent teacher!! Thank you, laoshi!!

我跟杨老师的第一课十分精彩。我们先聊了我的背景,目标,然后一起读了一篇关于政治的文章。杨老师帮我理解这难文章很复杂的语法,阐明了我所有不明白的事。她也给我发一些有帮助的资源,例一些准备汉语水平考试的视频,文章和书。听老师说中文的时候,我自己觉得有更多信心,因为她说得很清楚,也用适合我水平的说法。我一定会继续跟老师学习。谢谢杨老师!下次见。// My first lesson with Yang Laoshi was amazing! First we talked about my background and goals, and then we read an article about politics together. Teacher Yang helped me understand the very complicated grammar of this difficult article and clarified everything I didn't understand. She also sent me some super helpful resources, such as videos, articles and books about preparing for the HSK. When listening to Yang Laoshi speak Chinese, I feel more confident, because she speaks very clearly and uses language that suits my level and helps me learn. I will definitely continue to learn from you--thank you, Yang Laoshi! See you next time.
杨老师 is amazing! We always have so much fun in our classes and laugh so much, I learn a lot about conversational topics I care about, and she helps me find the best ways for me to study.
