Regardless of what your reasons might be, if your hope is to improve your Chinese, working with a private instructor can be a great way to move towards that goal.
What are the advantages of seeking out a Columbus Chinese tutor near me?
There is a litany of benefits to working with a Columbus Chinese tutor, not least of which is that you get an expert you can lean on as you explore what is notoriously a very difficult language to learn. This isn't like trying to pick up a Romance language or even deciding to tackle something like Russian or Greek. It's not as simple as memorizing vocabulary words or even an alphabet. Chinese doesn't even have an alphabet. It's the only modern pictographic language. Its symbols - of which there are 50,000 - represent syllables. Only 20,000 of those symbols are currently in use, though 2,500 of them are in frequent circulation. It's still complex to learn and requires a system called Pinyin if you want to translate it.
Columbus Chinese tutors can be of tremendous help as you approach learning the language. They can help build out lesson plans that begin by laying a foundation of basic understanding and then build out practical lessons by prioritizing the most commonly used bits of language. If you run into concepts that cause confusion, they can be there to issue clarifications and answer questions, reframing the issue until it makes more sense. This sort of one-on-one attention isn't as easy to get in a classroom of twenty or more students.
This attention is especially important when you begin to learn to speak the language. Learning to speak a language is arguably the hardest part of building proficiency in any language but it's different with Chinese for two reasons. First, written Chinese gives no indication of how words are meant to be pronounced. There are no accents or phonetic guides. Without guidance or modeling, you wouldn't know how words were meant to be said. Second, Chinese is a tonal language. That means how a word is said determines its meaning. There are seven primary dialects, with Mandarin being the most widely used. In Mandarin, there are four tones: flat, rising, falling then rising, and falling. If you say a word using the wrong tone, it changes the meaning entirely.
This is part of why working with Columbus Chinese tutors can be invaluable. Conventional classroom language instruction involves a teacher modeling pronunciation and the class, as a chorus, repeating it back. It becomes difficult to catch slight tonal errors in a setting like that. Your online Columbus Chinese tutor, on the other hand, using the video chat function of the Live Learning Platform, can engage you in conversation and correct you in real-time, preventing errors from becoming a habit. The platform records these sessions as well, giving you the ability to review the lessons at a later date and continue to practice. These interactions can also help train your ear to the pace of conversational Chinese, which tends to take place at a quicker clip than what you might hear from a teacher at the front of a classroom. This sort of instruction can be particularly helpful for students preparing to take higher-level courses where professors teach most classes almost exclusively in Chinese.
Another benefit of Columbus Chinese tutoring is that it can be customized to your pace of learning. In a traditional classroom, the teacher has their hands tied by the limits of the school year. They have a curriculum they've been assigned and only so many days in which they have to cover the material. They can't afford to slow down to make sure everyone understands everything before pushing forward. Your Columbus Chinese tutor can, though. If you've only allocated so much time to a particular unit but it turns out you need a little more work to really get a grip on the concepts involved, the lesson plan can be shifted around to make sure you're thoroughly prepared. On the flip side, if it turns out you've got it down pat in half the time originally allocated to a unit, they can skip ahead. These sessions are about you and your success first and foremost.
Columbus Chinese tutoring also affords you the flexibility of getting to choose when and where you want to study. We do the work to find a tutor who has availability when you do, so you can study when it is convenient for you. When working with Columbus Chinese tutors, you get to pick the location of your sessions as well. Maybe that means you log in from the local library. Maybe you meet your instructor in person at your home. It doesn't really matter as long as you're comfortable and able to focus.
