Chinese language is considered to be one of the most difficult languages in the world, so a lot of students can be afraid of difficulties they can meet during their studying. For me, as a teacher, the most important thing is to make learning process easy and enjoyable. My goal is to deliver subject in the most understandable way, and to make an «easy and interesting language» from «difficult and scary one».

My path to Chinese language started in 2011. In 2015 I got my Bachelor's degree in Chinese Language, literature and translation. In 2017 finished Master Degree in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other languages (ECNU, Shanghai). I have been working as a lecturer of Chinese Language at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv since 2017 and got my PhD in 2020. I spent 3 years living in China improving my language and teaching skills. It is really exciting to live in country with so long history and fascinating culture! And the key to this country is language. Language is an instrument with a help of which you can understand people, their culture, history. Moreover, you can enjoy studying, travelling and working!


Lecturer at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv;

Doctor of Philosophy - PhD in theory and teaching methods (oriental languages);

Author of  "JTC Chinese Learning" application for IOS.

I like this course from a begginer side look, is just explained in details, you can not be confused at all, and to have a foot in the most difficult language

By Anonymized User on 1/6/2024

good for beginner, but too fast

By Norihito Fujita on 6/1/2023

I deeply understood Chinese language. I think I can speak simply Chinese. I woukd like to use this learned method as soon.

No doubt about the teacher's qualifications. However, the course is not well structured if you want a full-on understanding of the rules and formations of the language. For a beginner in Chinese, how am I supposed to remember and memorize the character like a parrot? It's not giving you a throughout understanding of the science behind it. Besides, the flow is pretty fast to teach a "beginner". It is truly "speaking" after an hour but "simple dialect speaking" which you could google or find in a tourist guide. The course title can be a tad misleading. I would not recommend this to someone who wants to really understand and learn Mandarin.

It's going to fast for me.

By Julio de Carvalho Ponce on 4/1/2021

Tatiana builds up the content so we can read, pronounce and undesrtand Mandarin. She starts with the sounds, then characters and builds up to sentences. Recommended!
