The Chinese Sound

Introduction: Your dealings with Chinese speakers are important, but your presence diminishes when you speak Chinese. The tones are tough. Your voice sounds strange. Maybe worse yet: you think your pronunciation is getting good, but it still feels uncomfortable. You struggle to retain what you've learned. You also know you're missing out on crucial opportunities -whether business, relationship, or culture- with Chinese speakers. DON'T WORRY I train the: Mouth, Ear, and Heart to make The Chinese Sound. My course provides fundamentally crucial dialect training that clears access to better relationships with Chinese speakers. Through my training, you will- 1) Retain more of what you learn 2) Use it more effectively 3) Comfortably speak with your authentic voice. In Chinese. Chinese people themselves are too polite to say it, but foreigners speaking Chinese SOUND BAD. There are almost no exceptions. The sound of their language matters to the relationship almost as much as the words used. There is an entire dimension of relationship that opens up with Chinese speakers when you finally hear the Chinese sound around you and produce it yourself. WHO THIS IS FOR: You recognize how much your Mandarin is lacking, see the missed opportunities that come from your frustration, and notice how much of your own voice either gets in the way or is lost. If you're an absolute beginner, that's even better; You will build proper fundamentals without having to break bad habits. A different approach: Tutoring with native speakers is everywhere; however, as a non-native speaker myself, I know how it feels to be you. They've never played the role you are developing, nor understood the physical challenge. Consequently, I will teach with a different intentionality. I have experienced the specific challenges you'll face in changing your voice, the shape of your mouth, the way your tongue has to move, the transition of your very thoughts to more authentic speech. To find YOUR voice. The Chinese Sound opens pathways for quicker learning. It is more enjoyable, and more effective, but most importantly: It opens a new dimension of possibility for success, regardless of whether you're just starting out, or have been doing business in China for years. STUDENTS MUST BE WILLING TO SING. Daily language performances required throughout the entire 4 weeks.
