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.

I used to teach English in high schools, so I know how to treat students fairly, especially when they don't know how to improve themselves. By the same token, when teaching Japanese, I will try to work with them and help them to reach their goals contingent to different situations that involve diversified students. 自分が子どもの頃から厳しい先生が嫌いなので、必ず面白い方法で日本語の世界へと誘ってあげます。而如果您的興趣是中文,充滿文化背景支持我也一定會為您創造一個有深度的的中文會話環境。

At first I should know you what your Chinese level is and know your weakness in Chinese, and then I will hope you to correct them and we work together to strengthen them . Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. We can talk about a topic as you want, and I will help you to correct your pronunciation. We need to talk a lot. I have learned other languages besides Chinese and English, so I can understand what the real feel when you try to learn a new language. The most important things are listening and speaking. Don’t worry we can spend time in speaking.

Experienced certified tutor from Taiwan | 2000+ lessons I welcome students of all levels; from absolute beginners to upper intermediate. My conversational lessons focus on speaking, pronunciation and listening – let’s conquer those troublesome tones together! Lessons can be casual, serious or somewhere in-between. It’s up to you. If you have a specific goal, you can decide on your own lesson topics. Perhaps you would like to be able to order in restaurants, barter at markets, improve your business skills or just chat with friends or work colleagues. However, I’m also very happy to prepare lessons that I think will best improve your Mandarin skills.

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?

Create an Account: If you don’t already have an account, visit italki.com and sign up by entering your email or connecting through a social media account.
