In 2008, I got the certificate of Ministry of Education. At the same time, I was learning to be a teacher in teaching Chinese as a second language. These years I am also learning a new language, so I really understand what the student’s need and the problems on learning a language.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I skill up on Chinese in Burnaby and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with mobile applications, you have a few key options for learning Chinese interactively in Burnaby. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are better priced.) Your other resource can be local commercial language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can find a private Chinese tutor in Burnaby. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Burnaby and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 How expensive is it 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 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of fifty or so class hours each semester. Language schools and private Chinese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly Chinese tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, positive reviews and popularity. Real student rating 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 to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and graded tasks, so research the details in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Chinese so hard and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

    Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Chinese. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Chinese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand common expressions, speak on some level, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and affordable 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 speakers.

    🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of Chinese?

    Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Chinese will necessitate at least 600 hours of active use. The amount of time can differ by a lot depending on your existing level of Chinese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Chinese out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational Chinese classes online.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the Chinese teacher?

    In language centers, it's possible that you can 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 marketplaces like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges typically structure classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools usually give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
