    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Chinese in McLean, VA and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with apps, you have several main options for learning Chinese interactively in McLean, VA. 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 a little more affordable.) Your second possibility can be local private language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can find a private Chinese tutor in McLean, VA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local McLean, VA and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 Is it expensive to learn Chinese and what do Chinese tutors charge?

    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 cost of about 50 instruction hours each semester. Language academies and private Chinese tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly Chinese tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, availability and languages the tutor can teach in. 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 pass a few pre-requisites. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and testing, so research the details 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 specializations they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Chinese so hard and are there ways to learn it faster?

    Formal 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 5 hours a week you will be able to understand many phrases, express yourself, 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 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 students.

    🤷 How long does it take to master Chinese?

    Some people just 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 required duration of time can differ by a lot depending on your existing level of Chinese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, try typing using your new language skills, find 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.

    🤳 Can I choose my own Chinese instructor?

    In learning centers, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened Chinese tutors with video profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges as a rule structure classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools make available 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.
