The Benefits of Learning Chinese Virtually

Flexibility and Convenience

One of the primary advantages of learning Chinese with a virtual tutor is the flexibility it offers. Whether you're a student, a working professional, or a busy parent, you can schedule lessons at times that suit your lifestyle. There’s no need to commute, saving both time and money, and lessons can take place anywhere with an internet connection.

Personalized Learning Experience

Virtual Chinese lessons online can be tailored to your specific needs, goals, and learning pace. Unlike in a traditional classroom setting, where the curriculum is standardized, a virtual tutor can focus on areas where you need the most help, be it pronunciation, grammar, or conversational skills. This personalized approach can lead to faster progress and greater confidence in using the language.

Access to Native Speakers

Learning with a native Chinese-speaking tutor enhances your understanding of the language’s nuances, including accent, idioms, and cultural context. This direct access to native speakers, who can provide immediate feedback and correction, is invaluable for achieving a natural and authentic use of Chinese.

Enhanced Engagement and Interaction

Virtual Chinese lessons can utilize interactive tools like screen sharing, digital whiteboards, and multimedia content, making sessions more engaging than traditional methods. This dynamic interaction keeps you motivated and focused, allowing for a more enjoyable and immersive learning experience. The one-on-one nature of virtual tutoring ensures that you remain actively involved throughout the lesson, maximizing your retention and application of new language skills.

Faster Progress with Immediate Feedback

One of the key benefits of learning Chinese over the internet with a virtual tutor is the immediacy of feedback. As you practice speaking, writing, or listening, your tutor can instantly correct mistakes, clarify doubts, and provide tips for improvement. This real-time feedback is crucial for quickly overcoming challenges and avoiding the reinforcement of bad habits. As a result, students often see faster progress compared to other learning methods where feedback may be delayed or less personalized.

How long does it take to learn Chinese?

One of the most significant challenges learners face when studying Chinese is grappling with its complex writing system and tonal pronunciation. Chinese characters, which number in the thousands, require extensive memorization and practice, as each character represents a syllable and a meaning rather than a phonetic sound. Additionally, Mandarin Chinese is a tonal language with four primary tones, where the pitch contour of a word can drastically change its meaning. Mastering these tones and distinguishing between them is crucial yet challenging for learners. The language also features a variety of sounds not commonly found in many other languages, adding another layer of difficulty to accurate pronunciation. Together, these elements make learning Chinese a demanding but enriching experience.

According to the Foreign Service Institute (FSI), Chinese is categorized as a Category IV language, indicating it is one of the most difficult languages for English speakers to learn, typically requiring around 2200 hours of study to reach proficiency. The European CEFR guidelines also highlight the complexities involved in mastering Chinese, with a structured path from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficient). The unique tonal nature of Chinese, combined with its logographic writing system, makes it particularly challenging for learners from non-tonal language backgrounds.

At Verbalplanet, we understand these challenges and offer connections to native online Chinese tutors who can significantly streamline the journey to fluency. A native tutor provides invaluable insights into pronunciation, tone usage, and the cultural context behind vocabulary, making learning more effective and enjoyable. Engaging in Chinese lessons with a native speaker ensures that learners receive personalized feedback and tailored instruction, which are crucial for overcoming the inherent difficulties of the language and achieving fluency.

How do virtual Chinese lessons work over the internet?

Our teachers can use all popular video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Skype or Microsoft Teams so you just need to choose your preferred communication channel when you book. Web based Chinese classes provide a great way for students to engage in live conversation with native speakers and are virtually the same as taking an in person class. During each session, you will have the opportunity to interact with your tutor in real-time, practice your speaking, and receive immediate feedback and guidance.

You will also have access to our bank of resources to enhance your progress between classes.
