      "I've had Sherman now for a few lessons. She is motivated, patient and encouraging. She is a bit strict on me when it comes to my tones, but it all fairness you will never learn it well if someone is sugercoating. I think she is a teacher that can really get you to the level you want to go. She also is available at good and enough times which is super convenient. I would recommend to try Sherman as your Chinese teacher ;)"

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Chinese in Bakersfield, CA and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with apps, you have four principal possibilities for learning Chinese interactively in Bakersfield, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, ask about the centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your other spource can be local commercial language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can look for a private Chinese tutor in Bakersfield, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Bakersfield, CA and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 Is it cheap to learn Chinese and what do Chinese tutors charge?

    For university and college courses you can estimate Chinese course cost by dividing annual tuition by ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for 45-48 lesson hours each semester. Language academies and independent Chinese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly Chinese tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, availability and student demand. Customer review average for Chinese lessons on Preply is 4.95 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What level of Chinese do I need to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared prove your profeciency level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and exams, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Chinese so challenging and are there ways to learn it faster?

    Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Chinese. Realistically, you can gain basic Chinese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand common expressions, express yourself, shop and place orders in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and easy way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Chinese. After attaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Chinese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced level practitioners.

    🤷 How long does it take to learn Chinese?

    Some people seem to have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Chinese will take at least 600 hours of practice. The required duration of time can differ by a lot depending on your already acquired level of Chinese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write by hand and online using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Chinese out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Chinese classes online.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the Chinese teacher?

    In learning centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of approved Chinese tutors with video profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

    Colleges as a rule schedule classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
