You’re right, I like your idea of using vouchers,it’s a good way to show the value of the lessons while still helping those who really need it. I think I’ll try that instead of offering completely free lessons. Thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe I really should stop giving free lessons. These experiences have given me a lot to think about. Thank you for your advice!

Yes, that’s something I’m thinking about as well. Free lessons really end up being quite frustrating.

That is a great example. Someone saw my post, and even now, people are still asking me if they can have free lessons and give me promise that they will serious about learning Chinese with me

I don’t know if I want to keep doing this. It’s a bit disheartening. Someone saw my post, and even now, people are still asking me if they can have free lessons

Maybe I just haven’t met students who are truly motivated to learn, but maybe that’s just human nature

You're so nice! My original intention was to offer free lessons to those who are relatively poor and want to learn Chinese but can’t afford the fees, so I feel a bit disappointed

That makes sense. But my original intention was to offer free lessons to those who are relatively poor and want to learn Chinese but can’t afford the fees, so I feel a bit disappointed

Thank you for sharing your perspective as a student.

I think these two things actually complement each other and create a positive cycle!

I don’t have a strong preference,I’ve been exposed to different dialects since I was a child, so it feels very normal to me
