Tech Savvy, meme lover, "very interesting person". Thanks to auto-correction, Grammarly, and other tools, using (typing) another language has never been easier. But I believe language is not just vocabulary, syntax, or pronunciation - the understanding of cultural differences and mindset are the keys to use languages in a better way. So with my talk-to-anyone communication experiences and a good knowledge of Chinese and Western (mainly American) culture, I can help with 1. Explaining subtle differences of words in contexts 2. Colloquialize (or localize if you will) your speaking 3. Day-to-day down-to-earth conversation mock-ups, including but not limited to small talks in a bar or business Chinese 在掌握了一定的词汇和语法后,对不同文化和思维的了解会让语言学习者走得更远。

5年教学经验:专注零基础中文/日常地道对话/HSK考试/留学备考 我持有普通话水平测试等级证书,口语水平达到电视台主持人标准,能为你提供最规范的中文发音指导。 作为对外汉语教师,我常前往世界各地参与教育交流活动,所以,我的学生也来自不同国家和地区。 其中,最让我印象深刻的是来自吉隆坡的小朋友艾曼。他完全零基础!最初只会“你好”“谢谢”“再见”等简单表达,经过一段时间的学习后,不仅成为班级里中文最好的学生,还在学校活动中斩获一等奖;更重要的是,他摆脱了以往自卑、不爱交流的状态,现在变得十分开朗,交到了很多好朋友。 还有一位让我印象深刻的学生,是来自西班牙的学生文强。他刚接触中文时,只会 “我饿了”“多少钱” 这类基础日常表达,连完整句子都难以组织,对 HSK 考试更是毫无头绪。经过系统且有针对性的学习后,他不仅熟练掌握了复杂语法和高频词汇,成功通过了 HSK 5 级考试,还能流畅阅读中文文章、进行深度话题交流,为后续计划来中国深造打下了坚实基础。

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.
