大学期间,曾兼职教过初中化学和小学数学,从那时开始我就觉得教学是一件非常快乐且有意义的事。我现在定居在土耳其,自己同时也在自学土耳其语,从发音开始,基本的日常语,语法,然后不断扩展词汇量,平时在生活中加强演练。根据自己的经验,充分认识到,学习一门外语,环境非常重要,理论加实践,进步才能更快! During the university, I taught junior high school chemistry and elementary school mathematics as a part-time job. Since then I have felt that teaching is a very pleasant and meaningful job. I live in Turkey so far, also learning Turkish at the same time, starting with pronunciation, basic grammar, and constantly expanding vocabulary, strengthening exercises in life. Based on my own experience, I fully realize that environment is very important for learning a foreign language , theory and practice together can make progress faster!

My teaching philosophy is simple: language learning is about understanding and communication, not memorization. In my classes, I: ✅Help beginners build solid foundations in pronunciation and grammar ✅Use situational dialogues to teach vocabulary and sentence patterns ✅Focus on explaining why Chinese works the way it does I’ve developed practical techniques to help students overcome common difficulties in tones, grammar logic, and speaking naturally. I also integrate Chinese culture, traditions, and stories into lessons, helping students understand not only the language, but the people behind it.

I learned Thai and Japanese by myself, and I think language learners all have similar problems,lot of words has to remember,Can't use grammar skillfully,Not good enough pronunciation,so we can share our learning experience with each other。 I think it is important to pay attention to the fun and practice of the teaching content, and the same is true for language learning. If the use of language can be refined into all aspects of life, work and learning, then it will be easy to master a language.

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.

How do I sign up for conversational Chinese classes?
