There are also Chinese characters that confuse students.

      TESOL&TCSOL Double Certified/Environmental Engineer/Based in Beijing I love helping people reach their goals!
      I have been in engineering specialty training for over 5 years, either formally or informally, tutoring one on one, teaching in front of a class, or having classes online. I also have 15 years of experience in the environmental protection industry as a senior engineer.

      Why choose Hongrong Z.
      "I highly recommend Hongrong! I work with climate change, and for my job I need to have sharp, specific language about engineering topics related to the green transition. I already spoke conversational Chinese before starting lessons with Hongrong, but I’m very excited to have found a teacher who could help me improve my vocabulary in the technical and business topics I need. Hongrong is also very pleasant to take classes with, always in a good mood and with little anecdotes to make the experience enjoyable. She is patient, funny, creative, and always curious about my needs. If there’s a technical topic she doesn’t know about, she looks into it and can then tell me all about it in the next lesson. Your Chinese is in very good hands with Hongrong!"

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

    Besides self-study with apps, you have several key choices for learning Chinese interactively in Sacramento, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, research centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are cheaper.) Your 2nd resource can be local private language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. 4th and last, you can choose a private Chinese tutor in Sacramento, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Sacramento, CA and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 How expensive is it to learn Chinese and how much should Chinese tutors ask?

    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 cost of about 50 instruction hours each semester. Language centers and independent Chinese tutors charge $30-55 for 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 hometown, 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 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. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and testing, so research each program in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

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

    Standardized 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 five hours a week you will be able to understand common phrases, have simple conversations, shop and place orders in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and easy 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 active use. The amount of time can differ by a lot depending on your available level of Chinese or proficiency in 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 by hand and online using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Chinese out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Chinese classes online.

    🤳 Can I choose my own Chinese instructor?

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

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges structure classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually offer 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.
