51Թ can help learners of all ages connect with Seattle Chinese lessons, whether you're an undergraduate at the University of Washington, a student at Garfield High School, or seeking language skills for professional or personal reasons. Many schools require students to take a foreign language class to fulfill a general education requirement, and Chinese is a popular choice. The process of learning a new language is fraught with difficulties. A traditional classroom doesn't always allow students enough opportunities to exercise their verbal skills. If you're learning Chinese for pleasure, you might find that studying on your own is a tedious, challenging task. It is easy to feel overwhelmed when confronted with new grammatical rules that oppose the linguistic conventions of your language. Choosing to supplement your learning with Chinese lessons could help to add depth and structure to your studies.
Chinese is the most popular language in the world, with Mandarin being the most commonly spoken dialect. It is also considered one of the most challenging languages to learn. The advent of globalization has contributed to the spread of Chinese culture across the world. Boasting a rich cultural heritage of philosophy, poetry, drama, and film, China has much to offer Western learners and travelers. Along with its rich culture, China's economic expansion has created many opportunities for Western businesses, creating a need for bilingual speakers who can engage with a broad population of people. The popularity of the Chinese language across the globe also means that you may have an easier time communicating with others during your travels. Learning a new language is a great way to open yourself up to unique cultural experiences by diversifying the way you engage with the world.
Whether your motivation to learn Chinese is based on a romantic notion, an academic necessity, or professional advancement, 51Թ can enroll you in an online course or match you with a Seattle Chinese tutor to help you on your journey. Access to top-notch language resources can help to accelerate your studies and make learning more enjoyable.
What material will Seattle Chinese lessons cover?
As you may have already discovered, Chinese is a difficult language for non-native speakers to learn. The language, both written and verbal, bears little resemblance to English, forcing students to confront a multitude of new challenges. Working through these new linguistic conventions requires a comprehensive learning approach. While it is essential to memorize vocabulary and grammar, it is also important to find a forum where you can practice your conversational speaking. Speaking with others allows you to develop pronunciation skills as well as identify and learn words from context.
One of the first challenges language learners will encounter is the use of tone in the Chinese language. While English uses tone to express emotion, in Chinese, the meaning of a word changes according to its tone. Mandarin Chinese utilizes four tones, while other dialects feature up to nine. Also, Chinese has no articles, verb inflections, or plurals, meaning that all words have only one grammatical form. Learning how to isolate and identify the unique qualities of the Chinese language requires consistent practice. In order to achieve a high level of proficiency, it is important to seek out an immersive learning experience that both challenges and motivates you.
How do the two types of Seattle Chinese lessons work?
The practice needed to master a new language can seem intimidating. With your busy schedule, you may be wondering where you will find the time for extra instruction. One of the key components of Seattle Chinese lessons is teaching students how to maximize the free time that they do have by helping them to develop efficient, focused learning techniques. In addition to this, both online courses and private language instruction offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your schedule. 51Թ can match you with a Seattle Chinese tutor in less than 24 hours, and new online courses start monthly.
If you choose to enroll in an online course, you will attend live sessions with other eager students in our online learning platform. All classes are led by a reliable instructor who is capable of meeting your needs. Our virtual classroom allows you to interact in real time, allowing you to ask questions and receive immediate, specific answers. You will also be given the opportunity to work directly with your classmates. You can use this time to practice your conversational skills, share ideas, and work towards solutions together. Studying with others has shown to increase retention rates amongst learners. If you have worked ahead of the class curriculum, you can help other students work through certain subject areas, which in turn can help deepen and diversify your understanding of the content. This option also enables you to schedule one-on-one time with your instructor to work through any parts of the language that might be giving you pause. If you are struggling to differentiate between the different tones of the Mandarin language, your instructor might practice them with you, providing you cues and specific examples of each tone in use.
If you prefer a more intimate approach to language learning, working with a Seattle Chinese tutor might be a good option for you. For maximum flexibility, your instructor can meet you either online or in-person. Working with your instructor online is made easy by our Live Learning Platform. You will be able to see, hear, and interact with your instructor in real time utilizing your webcam. Working privately with an instructor can allow them insight into your language learning goals and areas of opportunity. They can then use this information to customize your lessons to your learning style and level of proficiency.
How can I get started with Seattle Chinese lessons?
Whether you're a student at Roosevelt High School struggling in your Chinese I class, or a working professional looking to diversify your employment outlook, 51Թ can get you started in reliable Seattle Chinese lessons to help accelerate your fluency by immersing you in a dynamic learning experience. Learning a new language can help open the door to a whole new realm of cultural experiences.

...I'm a friendly, empathetic, and encouraging tutor. My favorite subjects are mathematics and computer science, but I'm not into those lame equations you have to memorize.

That's why I believe programming and mathematics go hand in hand. You learn some math, and then make a program applying the principles, e.g. using...
