Seeking tutor for a heritage learner

I am a Chinese-American and am seeking a native Mandarin tutor for conversation lessons.  I am a heritage learner.  I have a working familiarity with Chinese, I can speak it and I can read it, but not very well.  In addition to what I picked up from my childhood, I learned Chinese in a formal classroom setting in the past but a lot of that knowledge has now deteriorated.  I have tried tutors but I have the impression that a lot of tutors don't really understand my background and that makes it hard for me to feel comfortable.  I am looking for a teacher that is willing to or understands how to teach a heritage learner, who does not talk down to me, and who understands that my starting point may be more advanced, but I still need help.

Please let me know if you might be the teacher I am looking for.

你好!我想你需要的不是一个老师,而是一个导师,或者说教练,到你现在的程度,很难有人再教你,但却有人可以给你指导,告诉你怎么自己去学习,以下是我给你的学习建议:

1、听:(1)可以开始看一些喜剧电影,因为喜剧的语言比较复杂,把不懂的词整理下来

               (2)听一些复杂的歌曲,如周杰伦,方文山的词可以当现代诗来读的

               (3)普通话考试的材料,你可以试一试,对矫正语音会比较有帮助

               (4)这个最重要,就是听一些课程,如果是手机,有个“喜马拉雅FM”的软件,里面有书或者课程,都可以听,电脑的话,可以去“网易公开课”http://open.163.com/cuvocw/        ,这个网站的中国课程都不错,我推荐“意见中国”这个访谈节目,此外百家讲坛、开讲啦也可以看一看。

2、说:(1)模仿一些现代名著改编的电视剧、电影,是不错的选择,比如《平凡的世界》等

               (2)多练习

3、读:(1)读是最重要的,像你的情况,男的推荐看金庸、古龙,尤其是金庸,但如果想学习,牵扯到的地名、典故,最好查一查,好句子做摘抄,我最早文字进步就是读武侠读出来的。玄幻小说有助于文字的大概只有《诛仙》一本,其他的不推荐。

                (2)读些文字学方面的书,比如《白鱼解字》,虽然肯定有不对的地方,但对你理解汉字来说帮助很大。

               (3)读中国历史类的书,和古典诗歌、古典名著。如《明朝那些事儿》《万历十五年》《国史纲要》,难度递进。

               (4)各科阅读和古代经典。

4、写:(1)从写读后感开始,可以抄,可以自由发挥,写完找人改

               (2)大量阅读、模仿、练习。周作人的文字算比较好的,可以读读,模仿下。



至于你所提的问题,答案只有一个,practice makes perfect,读些书,找人讨论,很快就能提升了,可以找qq群,也有微信群,找一个多和人交流,练口语感觉微信会很有用。对你来说,找老师没什么大用处。

你是想说想将汉语讲得像我们一样  

讲中文时,让人区分不出是美籍华裔

嗯~~ 找几个同龄的伙伴,每天扯一两个小时,扯着,扯着应该就好了


如果我理解错了,你看着玩就好 [emoji]
