Meet your learning partner

Hello,

I am Labake, and I am passionate about helping Chinese learners across the world Speak Chinese With Confidence. I have been on this journey for over a decade and have struggled through countless plateaus. Of all these plateaus, breaking through intermediate to advanced is the one I struggled with the most.


Besides my love for teaching, I am also passionate about interpreting, and learning interpreting at one of the most prestigious universities in China has connected me to a world of effective language enhancement methods. I tried these methods myself and tried them with students from over 10 countries, and you know what’s common with all of us?


It WORKS if you do it consistently and diligently! I am here to help you get over the struggle with “哑巴中文” (yǎ ba zhōngwen: this means excelling in all parts of your Chinese learning journey except SPEAKING) and SPEAK CHINESE WITH CONFIDENCE.

Speak Chinese with Confidence class was awesome. Labake's teaching methods are so practical and really effective. I was able to learn new things that I didn’t know about, including how to study better than I have been. I would definitely recommend to other Chinese Learners out there, who are looking to take their Chinese speaking to the next level. Again, thank you very much.

Prior to taking classes with Labake, I used to struggle with a good study plan. Having to take Chinese classes with her has made me discover new learning methods targeted towards Chinese speaking, such as listening to podcasts, shadowing, reading an article, and lots more. These new methods have yielded good results, and I’m so glad I took classes with her.

I'd like to thank Ms. Labake for allowing me to learn more about interpreting and put it into practice. This course was without a doubt an addition to both my personal and professional life. It equipped me with the tools to dive into this field with more confidence and be intentional about the way I operate. Ms. Labake is an amazing, motivating teacher and mentor, I'd 100 % recommend other Chinese learners and language professionals to also Take a Leap into Interpreting with her as her amazing teaching skills, openness, and sympathy create a safe space and room for constant growth. If she's someone you admire, you wouldn't want to miss the chance to interact and learn from her!

Thank you for all the knowledge you shared these past weeks and for all the progress I have made.

It was ten weeks but felt like 2 days because of how interesting the class was. Besides that, you were patient, funny and a very good teacher.I like that you made us write goals and reminded us of how many limitations you had as a human, yet you always showed up.

It was a good class, with good learning tools, and a more amazing teacher. I highly recommend it anytime any day.

I hope I get the chance to work with you sometime in the future.
