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 :)

Chinesischlehrerin | Interesse an Linguistik | Autodidaktin (Deutsch) Hallo, ich bin Xi und komme aus Wuxi in China. Nach meinem Studium der Innenarchitektur an einer Kunstakademie in Peking studiere ich derzeit Bildende Kunst in Dresden. Sowohl durch das Selbststudium als auch durch den Sprachaustausch habe ich ein gutes Verständnis für die Unterschiede zwischen dem Chinesischen und dem Deutschen entwickelt. Ich kenne typische Unsicherheiten und Verständnisschwierigkeiten, mit denen Fremdsprachenlernende konfrontiert sind, und weiß, wie man sensibel und verständlich damit umgeht. Ich glaube, der wichtigste Aspekt beim Sprachenlernen ist es, sich eine eigene Sprachwelt aufzubauen und diese im Alltag und in Gesprächen wirklich anzuwenden. In meinem Unterricht arbeite ich ohne Lehrbuch und fokussiere mich darauf, dein bestehendes Chinesisch weiterzuentwickeln. Wir starten mit offenen Gesprächen, ich gebe gezielte Korrekturen, erkläre sprachliche Feinheiten und beziehe den Vergleich mit dem Deutschen ein. Je nach Bedarf nutze ich Audio- oder Videomaterialien und erstelle nach jeder Stunde eine Übersicht mit neuem Wortschatz. Der Unterricht richtet sich an Fortgeschrittene und ist nicht für Anfänger:innen oder reine Prüfungsvorbereitung geeignet.

a digital nomad traveling around the world My name is Xia Li,Shelly, a digital nomad traveling around the world. I especially enjoy chatting with people from different places, and I love sharing my language with those who are interested in Chinese. This is one of the greatest joys of my travels! I can talk about all kinds of topics, from light to deep, from ants to the universe. I’m very open to making friends, and you can share anything you want with me. I’m genuinely curious about how people who are different from me think, how they live, and what kinds of worries they have. I believe that when learning any language, the most important thing is not thinking too much but speaking as much as possible. Gradually, it becomes somethi I have previously tutored the following students: 1. Chinese primary school students (as a private tutor) 2. An Italian friend who had already been learning Mandarin for several years and wanted to improve his pronunciation I tend to keep conversations with students relaxed and encourage them to speak more. I provide corrections appropriately based on each student’s language-learning goals.

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.
