    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I skill up on Chinese in Torrance, CA and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have 4 main options for learning Chinese interactively in Torrance, 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 better priced.) Your second spource can be local specialized 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. Fourth, you can look for a private Chinese tutor in Torrance, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Torrance, CA and online Chinese tutors.

    🎟 Is it expensive to learn Chinese and what do Chinese tutors charge?

    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 fifty or so course hours each semester. Language schools and independent Chinese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly Chinese tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, experience and languages the tutor can teach in. 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 to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and testing, so research each program in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Chinese so difficult and are there ways to learn it in a better 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 a few hours a week you will be able to understand most phrases, have simple conversations, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid 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 get better at speaking Chinese?

    Some people 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 dedication. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your existing level of Chinese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write using your new language skills, try to communicate with 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 choose my own Chinese instructor?

    In learning centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of tested Chinese tutors with detailed profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges typically offer classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools usually 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.
