    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Chinese in Merced, CA and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have several key possibilities for learning Chinese interactively in Merced, 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 other possibility can be local commercial language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can opt for a private Chinese tutor in Merced, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Merced, CA and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 Is it affordable 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 ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for about 50 course hours each semester. Language academies and individual Chinese tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the less pricey Chinese tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, ratings and specialization. Average reviews 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. Predetermined curriculum 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 reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Chinese so challenging and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

    One-size-fits-all 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 5 hours a week you will be able to understand common expressions, be understood when you talk, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and fun 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 level practitioners.

    🤷 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 active use. The amount of time can differ 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 recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch television, try typing using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try additional 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 choose my own Chinese instructor?

    In learning centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, always! The largest selection of verified Chinese tutors with video profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

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

    Colleges typically schedule classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools give 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.
