A lifelong passion for Chinese

A linguist by training, former school teacher and Chinese teacher, Vigdis MORISSE - HERRERA is a seasoned entrepreneur with a lifelong passion for languages and teaching.

At the age of 11, Vigdis decided to learn Mandarin. As the language was not taught at her secondary school, she had to learn from a distance. Despite her high level of motivation, difficulties soon became she was unable to assimilate the language correctly using conventional methodology, which she found far too daunting.

She waited until she was 16 to spend almost 2 years living in a Chinese family and finally learning to speak Mandarin.

Which turns into a passion for language teaching

A few years later, with a degree in Chinese and pedagogy in hand, Vigdis became a school teacher in the Hérault region, teaching Mandarin in schools and to private individuals.

She gives them her own method, lessons she would have liked to have received when she was younger, and finds that her methodology helps her pupils to progress. Inspired by her past difficulties she decided to make learning Chinese accessible to everyone, in an effective, fun and self-paced way.

Vigdis puts its didactic skills to good use, creating from A to Z a new, fun learning software designed for the specific characteristics of the Chinese language. Les Petits Mandarins was launched in 2016, and was an immediate success. In 2022, buoyed by the popularity of its Chinese language learning method, Vigdis went one step further and launched Globe Speaker.
