    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Chinese in Cleveland, OH and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have a few key options for learning Chinese interactively in Cleveland, OH. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, research centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your other option can be local private language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can choose a private Chinese tutor in Cleveland, OH. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Cleveland, OH and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 Is it expensive to learn Chinese and what does a lesson with a tutor of Chinese cost?

    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 rate for about 50 class hours each semester. Language academies and private Chinese tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the better priced Chinese tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, availability and specialization. Customer review average for Chinese lessons on Preply is 4.95 out of 5 stars.

    📚 How much Chinese do I need to know to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared pass a few pre-requisites. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and tests, so research those in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can find out in advance 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 in a better way?

    Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Chinese. According to experts, 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 words, speak on some level, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Chinese. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Chinese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.

    🤷 How long does it take to learn 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 study. The required duration of time can differ by a lot depending on your available level of Chinese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, write using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try more 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.

    🤳 Can I choose my own Chinese teacher?

    In language centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, always! The largest selection of pre-screened Chinese tutors with detailed profiles and customer 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 offer classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools typically offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
