I'm here to help all level learners to improve their Chinese faster. ✍️For beginners, my English is fluent, so I can use that as a medium language to explain the grammar points and new vocabulary to help you understand better and solve your questions more efficiently; ✍️For intermediate and advanced learners, I think the fastest way to scale new heights is to practice with a native, learning common phrases and colloquial sayings that you can't find in any textbooks.

Certified Teacher ☯ 8+ Years Experience ☯ Yoga,Music,Art ☯ Cool Chinese Expressions ☯ Cultural Share Currently I am living in Bogota, Colombia. By knowing the difference between Spanish, English, and Chinese, I always guide my students to try to think as a native speaker, to truly understand it by heart, instead of only try to translate literally. Mandarin has become one of the most important and widely used languages in the world. In my class I will use an interesting and relaxed way to help you with pronunciation, listening and grammar. The key point is that you can practice conversation with all kind of themes you are interested in, meanwhile appreciate a different culture.

Adult Only🌟Chinese Language Expert|Australia Bachelor|Financial Consultant Background Chinese is a language that conveys "meaning," unlike alphabetic languages such as English, which are based on "phonetics". 中文是表示“意义”的语言,与英文等字母文字表示“语音”的语言不同,我会带你把直观的Scenario与汉字相结合起来学习,印象会更深刻。 --Pinyin: You can start by learning simple conversational dialogues -拼音:可以先学习简单的口语对话,在这些小对话中理解拼音的规则+多多练习。这样比单纯枯燥地学习拼音更高效! --Chinese Characters: The only shortcut is to memorize them through physical practice rather than just mental effort—practice copying or tracing Characters repeatedly -汉字:唯一的捷径:用身体而不是头脑去记忆——多练习抄写/描红汉字。 --Grammar&Culture: A wealth of real-life scenarios and exercises will help you build connections between the Chinese language and visual imagery -语法&文化:大量的生活场景实例与练习带你建构中文语言与图像之间的链接~

5 years experience, focusing on daily authentic Chinese (zero-based), HSK & study-abroad prep. As an international Chinese teacher, my core characteristics are "professionalism, patience, and enthusiasm". With over three years of experience in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, I am familiar with the difficulties that students from different countries may encounter in learning Chinese, and can accurately match the learning needs of students at all levels from beginners to intermediate and advanced. I never get impatient when facing students' questions; instead, I will explain repeatedly in an easy-to-understand way until they fully grasp the knowledge.

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.
