As you know, many resources teach basic Chinese, but few focus on the intermediate stage? That's when your Chinese feels solid, yet you feel stuck, crave to speak with natural flow.

That's exactly why I'm here. I don't just teach the language: I inject the extra "native touch" you need to speak naturally and sound authentic, even if your tones are not yet perfect.

Unlock The Mandarin Flow

Master the Flow of Your Sentences, Not Just the Tones

I often hear the same frustration: "Only if I could master the tones." But what if I tell you that natural Mandarin isn't about stressing over every single word? It's about mastering the overall flow and rhythm of your sentences.

That's the core of what I call The Mandarin Flow. It’s the secret to unlocking a native touch that lets your Mandarin sound natural, even if your accent or tones aren't perfect.

My name is Selina. As a native Chinese speaker and intonation coach, my experience with tutoring on platforms like Preply and developing courses has shown me exactly what intermediate learners need to break through. I've distilled the key elements of authentic Mandarin into my Street Mandarin Mastery Roadmap to empower you to unlock that flow.

Are You Ready To...

Stop Translating, Start Speaking

Do you know a decent amount of vocabulary but find yourself translating in your head, making you sound slow and unnatural?
Stop translating and start speaking. The key is to have ready-to-go sentences, just like you did when you learned your first language.

Stop Worrying About Your Tones

Struggling with tones? Don't let the fear of getting them "perfect" freeze you up.

You don't need a flawless native accent to speak like a native. Think of tones as musical notes that guide your speech. People will understand you as long as the overall flow and structure of your sentence are correct.

Go Beyond the Basics, Go Native

Do you feel like you’re stuck in a loop of the same basic conversations and can't seem to break through to more fluid, natural-sounding speech?

It's time to break through and start speaking more fluidly. Go beyond the basics and get native with our resources designed specifically for intermediate learners.
