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!

I am constantly exploring and looking for the best teaching methods. I think that the most valuable part of my lessons is the individual approach. Each lesson is designed by taking into consideration the character, the needs, the level, and the knowledge of my students. I believe that absolutely anybody can learn a new language. Forget about your experience up to the present moment. From now on, we are going to change your attitude and perception on what it means to learn a new language. Let us dive deep into the unlimited realms of the human consciousness and start performing miracles together.

Super Welcoming for Chinese Beginners 😊 Over the past years, I've taught Chinese and English to thousands of students. Teaching Chinese to an American CEO was my most memorable teaching experiences. He was a beginner to Chinese when we started, but now he can communicate effectively with Chinese companies without needing a translator. I also taught English to middle school students. They were very engaged and excited in my class because they always paid a lot attention to either win a game or complete a task. I really enjoy teaching because I can see my students improvements with my help. As a languege learner myself, I believe that having fun in the learning process is very important to keep the motivation up and up.

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.

    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.

How do I sign up for conversational Chinese classes?
