Introduction – The Beauty of the Chinese Language
One of the biggest challenges for learners of Chinese is its writing system. Unlike English, which uses an alphabet, Chinese is a logographic language, meaning each character represents a word or a part of a word rather than a single sound. There are thousands of characters in use, but the good news is that most daily conversations rely on a much smaller set of commonly used characters.
INTRODUCTION – THE POWER OF LEARNING CHINESE
Unlike English, which uses an alphabet, Chinese is a logographic language, meaning that each character represents meaning, not just sound. At first, this may seem difficult, but once you recognize the patterns, Chinese writing becomes easier to understand.

A teacher with their own program. We started learning from scratch. The student is engaged.

What I like about the lessons: the clearly developed AUTHOR'S methodology, structured by lessons. Noa is demanding, but that's exactly the kind of teacher I was looking for. We've made significant progress!
Audrey Hernandez
An excellent teacher! Everything is perfect.
Cheyenne
We've been studying with Karhu for just over a year, during which time we prepared for and successfully passed HSK3. Before starting lessons with Karhu, I had already made three attempts to learn Chinese, all of which, unfortunately, were unsuccessful. From the very first lesson, I appreciated the systematic approach, with a structured lesson plan and plenty of materials. If problems or questions arose, Karhu would patiently explain everything as many times as needed.

Karhu is a poor specialist with an unclear teaching system.
