- There is one special title used frequently in business occasions in China, which is "总 zǒng".
There is one special title used frequently in business occasions in China, which is "总 zǒng". In this situation, "总 zǒng" means "cheaf" or "head". It is a short form general manager, chief director, CEO, CFO, president of a company, chairman of the board, etc. It is used after people last name. Sometimes, although the person is only in charge of a very small section in company, he/she would probably be happy if you address him/her with the title of "总 zǒng" . If you would like to learn more about Chinese language or Chinese culture, we can have a trial lesson first. Looking forward to meeting you in our classes! Thanks!
- For tutors what has been your experience teaching students Chinese as a second language?
How best do you tend to communicate Chinese to students who have never heard Chinese to students learning it as a second language?
Best answer
As a tutor, my experience teaching Chinese as a second language has been incredibly rewarding. Witnessing students grasp Mandarin, navigate tones, and embrace the cultural nuance has been a joy. Customizing lessons, fostering a positive environment, and celebrating each milestone is my recipe for success in language education. :)

Tackling Chinese tones? Picture this: 1st tone is like holding a steady note 2nd tone is asking a question 3rd tone is a quick dip then rise 4th tone is like scolding your friend Practice mimicking, use visuals, and get chatty with native speakers. Tones are your language melody :)

For an elderly person in Chinese, a warm and respectful "您好 (nin hao) works like a charm. Nin - 2nd tone Hao - 3rd tone Hope it helps :)
