An experienced voice coach of Mandarin I’ve begun my voice training since 2012 and started my career as an acting coach since 2016. I have taught many performers from high schools and organizations. I was once a theatre actor based in Beijing, and I also played different characters in multiple TV series before I went to middle school(my childhood performance looks like a piece of shit under today’s standards). There is no shortcut to master a language. Practice makes perfect. 我在 2012 年开始训练自己的声音,并于 2016年起从事表演指导的工作,为学校、机构和其它组织的人员训练声音。我曾经在北京的舞台上演过音乐剧和话剧,童年也出演过电视剧。 说好一门语言没什么捷径。熟能生巧

    今天我们复习了语法和(词(?))。Today, we reviewed grammar and vocabulary. Yasmine was very patient with me when I had forgotten the pronunciation of some characters. First, she would give me a hint; if I still couldn't remember it, she would tell me the word again and and the meaning. I appreciate her calm and patient way of teaching me, because helps me gain the confidence/motivation to practice, instead of avoiding it due to fear of making mistakes. 谢谢老师。

    I have been with Zoe Z. for 10 months and love her classes. I am an older student (~60) learning my first tonal language for a big change in my occupation to include a relocation to China so my stress level is quite high. Zoe is patient and kind. She always comes to class well prepared and remains fully engaged and focused. At the risk of sounding trite, she makes learning fun. She tailors the class to my specific needs and goals which I appreciate as I know that means extra work for her. I am So thankful to the person who recommended her to me and I wholeheartedly recommend her to you.

    Our son really enjoyed his first Mandarin lesson with this teacher. She is patient, encouraging, and explains everything very clearly. Being able to speak Mandarin, English, and French is a huge advantage, as she can easily adapt her explanations when needed. The lesson was well structured, engaging, and enjoyable. Our son felt comfortable from the beginning and is already looking forward to his next class. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, kind, and motivating Mandarin teacher!

    I have had my third lesson with Ida. As in the first two lessons, she was very dedicated and focused throughout the entire lesson. She prepares exactly the right materials for someone like me, that is a beginner who wants to focus on pronunciation and learn Chinese in a systematic manner. I particularly like that she does not let me get away with incorrect pronunciation, but always corrects me. Furthermore, she is very kind and easy-going in her communication.

Frequently asked questions

What level of Chinese do I need to have before taking conversational Chinese classes?

Before taking conversational Chinese classes, it’s recommended that you have at least a basic understanding of the language, ideally at a beginner (A1) or lower-intermediate (A2) level. This would include being familiar with basic vocabulary, simple sentence structures, and common phrases. While it’s possible to start conversational lessons as a complete beginner, having some foundation in pronunciation (like tones) and basic characters will make the process smoother and more effective.

Conversational Chinese classes are designed to help you improve speaking and listening skills, so knowing some basic grammar and vocabulary will allow you to participate in conversations more easily. If you’re a beginner, your tutor will likely focus on building your confidence and helping you practice simple conversations. If you’re at a more intermediate level, the focus can shift to more complex sentence structures and deeper discussions.

Can I take online conversational Chinese classes?

Yes, you can definitely take online conversational Chinese classes, and italki is a great platform for this! It offers one-on-one lessons with native Chinese-speaking tutors who can help you practice speaking, improve your listening skills, and build your confidence in real-life conversations. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, you can find a tutor who tailors lessons to your specific needs, helping you focus on topics that interest you, like daily life, travel, or business Chinese. Online conversational Chinese classes are highly flexible, allowing you to schedule lessons at times that suit you, and you can learn from the comfort of your own home.

How many classes do I need to take to become fluent in Chinese?

The number of classes needed to become fluent in Chinese depends on several factors, including your starting level, learning goals, and how much time you can dedicate to studying. For beginners, fluency can take several years to achieve, with consistent study and practice. On average, it might take around 600 to 1,200 hours of study to reach conversational fluency, which can equate to about 1-2 years of regular lessons.

However, becoming fluent also involves immersion, practice outside of lessons, and exposure to the language in different contexts. The key is consistency – taking lessons regularly, engaging in conversations, and practicing vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. Additionally, actively using the language in real-world situations will significantly speed up your progress.

Setting specific milestones and working closely with a tutor on conversational practice can help accelerate your learning and give you a clearer idea of how many lessons you might need to become fluent.

Who are the tutors that will be teaching the conversational Chinese classes?

The tutors teaching conversational Chinese classes on italki are native speakers or highly proficient speakers of Chinese, with a variety of teaching backgrounds and expertise. Some tutors are professional language instructors with formal teaching qualifications, while others are informal teachers with extensive experience in helping learners improve their conversational skills. These tutors come from diverse regions where Chinese is spoken, offering a range of accents and dialects (Mandarin, Cantonese, etc.).

Many tutors also specialize in different areas, such as business Chinese, travel vocabulary, or preparing for Chinese language exams. You can choose a tutor based on your personal learning goals, preferences, and their teaching style. Tutor profiles on italki include information about their qualifications, experience, teaching methods, and reviews from other students, helping you select the right match for your conversational practice.
