    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I skill up on Chinese in Milpitas, CA and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using apps, you have a few key opportunities for learning Chinese interactively in Milpitas, CA. 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 2nd resource can be local commercial language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can choose a private Chinese tutor in Milpitas, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Milpitas, CA and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 How expensive is it 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 45-48 lesson hours each semester. Language centers and private Chinese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Chinese tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, availability and popularity. Customer review 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. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and testing, so research those in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from many 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. As proven by others before, 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 most words, be understood when you talk, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Chinese. After acquiring 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 require at least 600 hours of study. The required duration of time can differ a lot depending on your existing level of Chinese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch television, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try other 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 pick my own Chinese teacher?

    In language learning academies, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, always! The largest selection of verified Chinese tutors with detailed profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges typically structure classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools have shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
