◎Teaching foreigners to speak Chinese sounds very interesting. It's more interesting than clocking in from nine to five; it's more interesting than being forced by Party A to change the plan; it's more interesting than calling potential customers every day; it's more interesting than writing a speech to the boss...
◎Yes, at least that's what it sounds like. Then you seem to see that there is another way of life. You can make money by talking to foreigners, and you can also have your own time. It seems that a colorful life is coming towards you.
◎Okay then, why not. Oh, wait a minute, what should be the first step? If there was a student sitting in front of me, what should I say to him? Or maybe you already have your first student, congratulations on getting started!
◎What, you find that he doesn't understand no matter what you say? After a while, you feel a little disappointed and feel that it is actually quite boring? Then this book is for you.
◎As a professional teacher who has taught foreigners for more than ten years, I am very happy that you found this book. Now that you are reading the introduction of this book, at least it means that you realize that you need some professional help, and you have taken practical actions to find this help, and found this book that I am about to introduce to you.
◎I know that your professional background may not be in linguistics, applied linguistics, second language acquisition, or even major liberal arts such as Chinese and foreign languages.
◎Don't be afraid, I guarantee that if you hold this book and read it, not a single professional terminology you don't understand will appear. Just like reading a popular book, you can solve the questions in your mind about this industry.
◎In this book, I will first dispel some common misunderstandings for you, and then instill in you some of the highest principles that should be kept in mind at all times. Next, let's talk about how to teach, how to avoid pitfalls, and how to defeat monsters and upgrade. After arming you with concepts and skills, I believe that although you are unlikely to become a professional teacher immediately, it will at least distinguish you from those complete laymen. After reading this book, you don't need to study for a master's degree or a bachelor's degree in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages, nor do you need to participate in Chinese teacher certification training, or even go to the Internet to make an appointment with a famous person for consultation. You can have a general understanding of how this industry works.
◎If you still want to improve after a rough understanding, I also talked about this issue in the last chapter. And if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me. If you want to check how well you are learning, you are also welcome to send me your own lesson plans (plans on how to teach) or videos of your lessons. These Q&A and guidance are free. I will leave my contact information in the book.
◎This is what I want to do for you. I hope you will say goodbye to groping on your own but not getting the key, and ultimately getting twice the result with half the effort. I hope you will take the right path when you start. Although you are immature, you will have a firm mind and understand what is right and what is wrong.
◎I hope you read this book today, you have found it, don't miss it.
Reader comments
While reading this book, I thought that as someone who has studied abroad, many people have asked me, have I ever been a Chinese teacher? To be honest, I did do it, but I gave up in the middle. Like many people, I originally thought that since I could speak Chinese, I could definitely be a Chinese teacher to foreigners, because they learned very basics, and we could definitely teach the language. But that was not the case. I had no idea where to start teaching Chinese or what techniques there were, so I had no choice but to give up in the end.
Chinese has gained great popularity throughout the world, and the number of people learning Chinese is increasing every year. So we have a new job opportunity, which is to teach Chinese to foreigners. This job is very simple. You only need to chat with foreigners in their native language. Moreover, this job is much more interesting. We don't need too much working time and can have a more colorful life. However, teachers are not so good and need to learn certain skills, and this book teaches us some basic teaching skills.
I have been thinking about what I can do as a student majoring in Chinese language in the future. Until I read this book, I had a new idea. The author tells us: In fact, when we teach, it is best not to use foreign languages, so we should try our best to let students have as much exposure to Chinese as possible. Even students with zero basic knowledge can start smoothly in a class taught entirely in Chinese, as long as the teacher has sufficient skills. I suddenly became very interested in this book. Maybe I can learn a lot of skills?

The perspective of this book is very unique. It teaches Chinese people how to teach foreigners to speak Chinese. This thing sounds very interesting. It seems that you can make money by talking to foreigners, and you can also have your own time, as if a colorful life is coming to you. This book tells us that if there is really a foreign student sitting in front of us, what should we teach and where to start? It is quite practical to think about it carefully if you don't know where to start.
I am very grateful to the author and teacher for sharing. It has been a great inspiration to me who is wandering at the door of teaching Chinese as a foreign language. Everything written in these books is what I have experienced step by step in the past two or three years. All I can say is that changing careers is not easy, so keep learning.

The logic is very strong, and the breadth of the content is okay, but the depth and practicality may be lacking.
