    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Chinese in Columbus, OH and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with mobile applications, you have a few key possibilities for learning Chinese interactively in Columbus, OH. 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 cheaper.) Your second resource can be local specialized language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can look for a private Chinese tutor in Columbus, OH. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Columbus, OH and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 Is it cheap to learn Chinese and how much should Chinese tutors ask?

    For university and college courses you can estimate Chinese course cost as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of fifty or so course hours each semester. Language academies and independent Chinese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the better priced Chinese tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, positive reviews and student demand. 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. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and testing, 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 expertise they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Chinese so challenging and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

    One-size-fits-all 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 expressions, express yourself, 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 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 students.

    🤷 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 take at least 600 hours of practice. The actual range of time can differ by a lot depending on your current level of Chinese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, seek 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 tutor?

    In colleges and universities, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, of course! The largest selection of pre-screened Chinese tutors with full profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

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

    Colleges typically offer classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically make available 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.
