    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Chinese in Kingston upon Thames and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using apps, you have several key opportunities for learning Chinese interactively in Kingston upon Thames. 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 2nd possibility can be local specialized language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. 4th and last, you can find a private Chinese tutor in Kingston upon Thames. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Kingston upon Thames and online Chinese tutors.

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

    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 1/2 of a hundred course hours each semester. Language academies and private Chinese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly Chinese tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, positive reviews and popularity. Real student rating average for Chinese lessons on Preply is 4.95 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What are the requirements for Chinese language skill level to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared demonstrate proof of your current level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and tests, 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 specializations they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.

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

    Formal 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 five hours a week you will be able to understand common sentences, speak on some level, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and fun 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 speakers.

    🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of 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 dedication. The length of time can differ quite a bit depending on your current level of Chinese or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write by hand and online 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 this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Chinese classes online.

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

    In learning centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, always! The largest selection of pre-screened Chinese tutors with video profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

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