      CTCSOL+TESOL+IPA+Elementary school teacher certificate+8 years of teaching experience For example, the pronunciation and tone change of the students, like the simplest "hello" is not actually "nǐ hǎo" but "ní hǎo", this is because three tone meet three tone, the first to become two tone. There are also Chinese characters that confuse students.

      When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, we can see the flowers blooming I do not have any teaching experience at the moment, but enjoy teaching and discussing my own ideas and opinions with students. There are many native languages in different regions of our country, I can speak two native languages, Chinese native language is different from other countries, it is not only the distinction of accent, different reading methods and so on.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my Chinese in Columbia, MO and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have four main options for learning Chinese interactively in Columbia, MO. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, check centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are less pricey.) Your 2nd option can be local for-profit 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. Fourth, you can opt for a private Chinese tutor in Columbia, MO. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Columbia, MO and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 Is it cheap to learn Chinese and what are the ballpark lesson costs for Chinese tutors?

    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 cost of 45-48 class hours each semester. Language schools and individual Chinese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the less pricey Chinese tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, positive reviews and popularity. Average reviews 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 pass a few pre-requisites. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and exams, so research the details 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 classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Chinese not easy and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

    Standardized 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 most phrases, have simple conversations, shop and place orders in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Chinese. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Chinese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.

    🤷 How long does it take to master Chinese?

    Some people have a 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 dedication. The length of time can differ significantly 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 TV, write by hand and online using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Chinese out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Chinese classes online.

    🤳 Can I pick my own Chinese instructor?

    In language learning academies, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened Chinese tutors with full profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

    🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

    Colleges usually schedule classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools offer 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.
