    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Chinese in Petaluma, CA and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with apps, you have four main opportunities for learning Chinese interactively in Petaluma, 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 second spource can be local commercial 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. Last, you can find a private Chinese tutor in Petaluma, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Petaluma, CA 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 as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of 1/2 of a hundred course hours each semester. Language centers and private Chinese tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Chinese tutors can be found online, with rates 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 prove your profeciency level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and exams, 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 expertise they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Chinese so difficult and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

    Standardized 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 several hours a week you will be able to understand many phrases, speak on some level, shop and place orders in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and easy 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 level practitioners.

    🤷 How long does it take to master Chinese?

    Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Chinese will demand at least 600 hours of dedication. The length of time can differ quite a bit depending on your existing level of Chinese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible 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.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the Chinese instructor?

    In learning centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened Chinese tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges offer classes two times weekly 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.
