Discover Mandarin Chinese –
Expand Your Global Reach
Chinese is not only one of the world’s oldest written languages, but also the key to understanding one of the most influential cultures in history. In today’s interconnected world, the ability to communicate with over 1.4 billion people and to grasp the nuances of Chinese culture offers a distinct advantage – in business, in personal growth, and in building meaningful international relationships.
In my Mandarin courses, the focus goes beyond vocabulary and grammar. You will learn to speak, read, and write Chinese while gaining valuable insights into cultural traditions, social norms, and modern business etiquette. My goal is to help you broaden your perspective and enrich your professional and personal horizons.
I offer tailored lessons for children and adults – from private one-on-one coaching to small group classes. For companies, I provide customized training programs: from intensive crash courses before a business trip, to preparation for negotiations with Chinese partners, or support for employees relocating to China.
Whether you want to strengthen your international career, improve communication with Chinese clients, or simply immerse yourself in a fascinating culture – my courses provide the tools and confidence to succeed.
My courses are specifically tailored to these needs:
All classes will have a maximum of 10 students. The lessons can be held both in German and English, depending on student’s language preference. Private lessons can be booked individually.
Whether preparing for an exhibition or entering a new market, a deep understanding of local culture and people is essential for success.
Having spent over two decades living and working in both Germany and China, I bring an in-depth understanding of both societies, their business environments, and the subtleties that shape cross-cultural collaboration.
Drawing on years of experience in building professional “bridges” between these two markets, I offer comprehensive consulting services to companies operating in or expanding between Germany and China.
My areas of expertise include:
Every project is tailored to the client’s unique needs and goals. By combining cultural insight with practical experience, I help organizations build sustainable growth and trusted relationships across cultures.
Duan Ye
Born in China, I received a rich musical and cultural education before moving to Berlin. In Germany, I earned my Diploma in Music, followed by a second Master’s degree in New York. As a culture manager, I have worked with Europe’s largest classical music festival, gaining valuable experience in event organization, intercultural communication, and partnership development — always striving to achieve the best outcomes for each collaboration.
In 2023, I founded the “Tiger & Dragon Club”, a program designed to help European children learn Chinese through engaging and creative methods. Since 2024, I have also been consulting for a German trading company, supporting their expansion and development in the Chinese market.
Bridging cultures is at the heart of everything I do. With a deep understanding of both German and Chinese societies, I am dedicated to helping individuals and organizations connect, communicate, and thrive in an increasingly globalized world.
