See you soon. I envision that those who study Chinese with me will speak fluent Chinese as me.

      Why choose Amanda X.
      "Amanda is always punctual and encouraging. During class she gets you to speak and practise useful sentences. One-on-one classes with Amanda are definitely increasing my Chinese much faster than if I was taking group classes. I am much more confident in trying to speak Chinese and not worrying that I will get something wrong. Her English level is superb, so when you have a question, she can understand and explain the differences between Chinese and English really well. She is always prompt in sending the class notes out after class finishes. She was the best out of the four tutors I tried on Preply and that's why I chose her!"

    Yanlei is a great teacher and his teaching style is different too. He will teach you new words related to the topic or lesson, and make sure you remember them by having you recall it in the next lesson. He will encourage you to speak Chinese more in class and is patient too.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

    Besides self-study with special programs, you have four key opportunities for learning Chinese interactively in Troy, NY. 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 less pricey.) Your other spource can be local specialized language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. 4th and last, you can opt for a private Chinese tutor in Troy, NY. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Troy, NY and online Chinese tutors.

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

    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 course hours each semester. Language academies and independent Chinese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Chinese tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, ratings and specialization. Average reviews for Chinese lessons on Preply is 4.95 out of 5 stars.

    📚 How much Chinese do I need to know to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared pass a few pre-requisites. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and graded tasks, 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 specializations they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

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

    Standardized 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 5 hours a week you will be able to understand many expressions, have simple conversations, do most everyday tasks 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 students.

    🤷 How long does it take to master 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 necessitate at least 600 hours of practice. The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of Chinese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write using your new language skills, seek 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.

    🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Chinese instructor?

    In language learning academies, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, certainly! The largest selection of pre-screened Chinese tutors with extensive profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

    🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

    Colleges usually schedule classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools typically give 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.
