A Certified International Chinese teacher with more than 8 years of teaching experience Hi! I'm Roy, I grew up in China. Learning and teaching languages is my biggest passion, so now I want to help others learn too! I'm currently studying languages and linguistics, and I've been learning English for almost 20 years, which has helped me learn how to explain the language well to other English speakers, and to better understand my own native language. I think learning a new language should be fun and most of all funny, so I teach primarily through conversations about what you’re interested in and want to talk about. I usually teach through relevant example sentences: expressions, jokes, stories, and questions. I focus on teaching you to understand and communicate naturally with

拥有3年的线上教学经验 我目前在当地的一个五星级酒店工作,但是我会在闲暇时间在线上教中文。我曾在辅导机构辅导过学生的语文和英文作业,因此我积累了一定的教学经验和教学方式。在生活中,我每天都在学习中文和英文,丰富我的教学水平和内容,我希望让我的学生每一节课都会有不同的收货! I'm currently working at a local five - star hotel. However, in my spare time, I teach Chinese online. I used to tutor students in Chinese and English assignments at a tutoring institution. As a result, I've accumulated some teaching experience and methods. In my daily life, I study both Chinese and English every day to enrich my teaching skills and content. I hope that my students can gain something different from each of my classes!

As a long-time English learner from a kid and a German learner for the recent one year, I know how difficult it is to learn a new language, especially in a different language system compared with the mother tone. I have some friends who are learning Chinese and I sometimes help them with their questions about the language. From this experience, I understand Chinese can be very confusing and easy to make mistakes sometimes. I used to give physics tutor lessons to high school students. Although teaching a language is a new journey for me, I will try my best to prepare for every course and improve your language level while we are both enjoying the process :)

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.
