    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Chinese in West Des Moines, IA and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using special programs, you have several primary choices for learning Chinese interactively in West Des Moines, IA. 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 2nd possibility can be local for-profit language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can opt for a private Chinese tutor in West Des Moines, IA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local West Des Moines, IA 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 as one-tenth 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 class hours each semester. Language academies 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 rates on Preply averaging 13 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, positive reviews and languages the tutor can teach in. Real student rating average 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 demonstrate proof of your current level. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and testing, so research those in advance. With personal Chinese tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Chinese so challenging and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

    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 five hours a week you will be able to understand common words, 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 ready and enjoyable 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 learners.

    🤷 How long does it take to learn 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 active use. The length of time can differ significantly depending on your available level of Chinese or knowledge of 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, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Chinese out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational Chinese classes online.

    🤳 Can I pick my own Chinese tutor?

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

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges typically offer classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically make available 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.
