    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Chinese in Daly City, CA and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have a few principal opportunities for learning Chinese interactively in Daly City, CA. 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 better priced.) Your 2nd option can be local specialized language academies that charge 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 look for a private Chinese tutor in Daly City, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Daly City, CA 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 overall charge for about 50 lesson hours each semester. Language centers and individual Chinese tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $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 location, ratings and student demand. 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. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and tests, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Chinese so hard and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

    Standardized 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 everyday phrases, express yourself, shop and place orders in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Chinese. After mastering 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 get better at speaking 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 take at least 600 hours of practice. The amount of time can differ by 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 best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try additional 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.

    🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Chinese instructor?

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

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges typically offer classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
