    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I skill up on Chinese in Culver City, CA and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have four key possibilities for learning Chinese interactively in Culver City, CA. 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 better priced.) Your 2nd option 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. Last, you can choose a private Chinese tutor in Culver City, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Culver City, CA and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 Is it affordable 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 ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for 45-48 class hours each semester. Language academies and private Chinese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Chinese tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, experience and specialization. Average student satisfaction 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 level and tests, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For maximum 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?

    One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Chinese. In reality, 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 many sentences, speak on some level, socialize in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and easy 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 learners.

    🤷 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 require at least 600 hours of practice. The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your already acquired level of Chinese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, 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 it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Chinese classes online.

    🤳 Can I pick my own Chinese coach?

    In colleges and universities, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, certainly! The largest selection of verified Chinese tutors with extensive profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

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