With over 17 years of experience teaching Mandarin Chinese at all levels, Jean Columeau, by his Chinese name LI Tianxiang (李天翔 Lǐ Tiānxiáng), is a certified Chinese teacher. His career as a teacher was influenced by 8 years of work as a sworn translator and interpreter in Mandarin Chinese, which made him aware of the needs of the professional world. Its pedagogy places particular emphasis on the balance between the communicative and formative aspect of language learning while paying great attention to the acquisition of cultural codes.
Married to a Chinese, these courses benefit from the enormous advantage of a Franco-Chinese couple: the French part understands the difficulties of a Westerner in learning Chinese, while the Chinese part brings all the authenticity to the language and to culture. This dual cultural perspective is clearly visible in the site's training courses between level 3, which presents Chinese culture as discovered by a Westerner, and level 4, which addresses the culture seen by the Chinese. You can learn more in the part “The method”.
