    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my Chinese in Ellicott City, MD and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have 4 primary possibilities for learning Chinese interactively in Ellicott City, MD. 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 cheaper.) Your 2nd spource can be local specialized 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. Fourth, you can look for a private Chinese tutor in Ellicott City, MD. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Ellicott City, MD and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 Is it affordable 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 ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for about 50 lesson hours each semester. Language centers and individual Chinese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly Chinese tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, ratings and student demand. Average reviews 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. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and graded tasks, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Chinese so challenging and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

    Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Chinese. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Chinese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback 5 hours a week you will be able to understand common expressions, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and enjoyable 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 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 study. The amount of time can differ significantly depending on your available level of Chinese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try other 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 coach?

    In language learning academies, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, of course! The largest selection of approved Chinese tutors with detailed profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

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

    Colleges run classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually have 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.
