Get the Final Push You'll Ever Need to Speak Mandarin Naturally
Already have a solid Chinese foundation? You don't need more grammar drills or endless tone practice. Instead, you need to master the overall flow of your sentences and focus on the right phrases.
So What is That “Final Push”?
Got a solid Chinese foundation? Skip the endless grammar and tone drills. What you really need are the right phrases—those grammar-free expressions natives actually use. To make it simple, I’ve compiled my years of teaching experience into one Complete Living Archive, featuring over 3,000 native-level expressions and slang terms, complete with all the key elements shown below.
A Word on Intonation: The Key to Mandarin Flow
Instead of stressing over a single difficult tone, you should master the rhythm and overall flow of the sentence. This is the core of what I teach.
Pay close attention to how native speakers connect words to create phrases that are smooth, natural, and have that local “punch.” By prioritizing the music of the language (intonation) over individual tones, you’ll unlock your Mandarin fluency faster than you thought possible.
About Your Chinese Intonation Coach
I’m Selina, and I’m dedicated to helping focused Mandarin learners get that final push. My true passion is empowering you to speak Mandarin with natural flow and sound native — even without a native accent.
I’m based in Belgium and speak English, Mandarin, and Dutch. I believe writing is the most authentic way to share ideas, which is why I’m here on Substack (so you won’t see me on camera, at least not yet!).
My journey began with tutoring on Preply, and after a year of specialized coaching in intonation, I started creating courses for Classy Mandarin. I love diving deep, sharing words and translations that go beyond the surface level—helping you move from understanding a phrase to owning it.
