    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Chinese in Norfolk, VA and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with apps, you have 4 principal possibilities for learning Chinese interactively in Norfolk, VA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are better priced.) Your other resource can be local private language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can choose a private Chinese tutor in Norfolk, VA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Norfolk, VA and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 Is it affordable to learn Chinese and what are the ballpark lesson costs for Chinese tutors?

    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 price of 1/2 of a hundred lesson hours each semester. Language academies and individual Chinese tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the better priced Chinese tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, experience and specialization. Customer review 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. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and tests, so research each program in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of 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. According to experts, 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 many expressions, have simple conversations, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Offline interaction 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 speakers.

    🤷 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 practice. The length of time can differ significantly 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 best to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try additional 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.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the Chinese tutor?

    In colleges and universities, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of approved Chinese tutors with full profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges typically run classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools as a rule offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
