High school and college students looking for some assistance as they jump into the challenge that is learning the Chinese language can reach out to Varsity Tutors for Spokane Chinese lessons. Chinese is the most popular language in the world. In fact, there are over one billion native Chinese speakers. Chinese is different than English in many ways, and sometimes students struggle with that. Whether you're a student attending Lewis and Clark High School who has chosen to start Chinese as your second language for your diploma requirements or a student at Whitworth University and looking to keep your language skills strong as you study Chinese at a more advanced level, chances are, you'll want a little help outside the classroom.
Chinese is unique in that there are 50,000 characters in the language. Each character is one syllable, and about 20,000 of the total characters are commonly used. There is no alphabet similar to the one found in English, and students can sometimes find that difficult to grasp. However, when you sign up for sessions with Spokane Chinese tutors, you can receive support that can make learning the language less daunting. Not only are you learning new phrases, but you're learning a new way to translate words based on pronunciation. Working with a Spokane Chinese instructor one-on-one or in a classroom-style environment with other students and an instructor who is experienced with the Chinese language can help you to achieve your language-related goals.
The Mandarin dialect is the official language in Taiwan and the People's Republic of China. There are also other dialects in the language, and those include Xian Wu, Gan, and Hakka. One thing that might simplify the Chinese language a little is that all dialects share a writing system. If you're taking classes because you want to improve your professional prospects in the future, or because you want to communicate more effectively with people, starting Spokane Chinese lessons can be helpful.
What might I learn in Spokane Chinese lessons?
One of the ways that Chinese is different from English is that the meaning of a word can change, depending on the tone of the speaker's voice. There are multiple tones in the different dialects. For example, in Mandarin, you'll study the difference in meaning when a speaker uses these tones: flat, rising, falling then rising, and falling. There are up to nine different tones in the other dialects. As previously mentioned, instead of a specific alphabet, each of the more than 50,000 characters that make up the Chinese language represent a single syllable, but these symbols do not give clues to pronounce them properly. You'll also learn about how nouns function in the language, how nouns keep the same form, and how to use a language that has no articles or verb inflections.
Because of its complexity, it's common for students who are studying Chinese to seek additional help outside the traditional classroom. Whether you choose one-on-one instruction with an academic coach who is familiar with the language or want to work with other students who are also working toward the same goals, Varsity Tutors can help you find an academic coach or Spokane Chinese lessons.
How do the two types of Spokane Chinese lessons work?
There are two options for Spokane Chinese lessons: group-style sessions with other students and an academic coach who knows the language, or one-on-one sessions with a language coach. Some students even use both methods. No matter how you choose to supplement your traditional classroom learning of the language, you'll have the support of experienced Chinese speakers.
For a classroom-like experience, you can enroll in Spokane Chinese classes with the help of Varsity Tutors. You'll use the internet to join other students and an instructor through our Live Learning Platform. The platform includes a virtual whiteboard and video chat, and those features will help you to converse and interact with others in real time. Virtual Chinese lessons start each month and you can choose from two-week sessions or four-week sessions.
If private tutoring is more your style, one-on-one sessions with a Spokane Chinese tutor may be a better option. You'll get more personal attention from your academic coach than you might otherwise get in a traditional classroom setting. In this model of instruction, you can connect with your private instructor via Varsity Tutors' Live Learning Platform or meet in a specific physical location. From your first session, your Chinese instructor gets to know you so that they can tailor your lessons to meet your needs. They'll take your strengths and weaknesses into account, your learning style, and your likes and dislikes. They'll see where you have a handle on the language or the topics you struggle with, and they'll create a plan to address your concerns. That customized plan could include a variety of study aids, maybe even field trips to help kinesthetic learners to work on their vocabulary. The plan they create will have some flexibility that lets you switch topics around when needed.
How can I find a Chinese tutor or enroll in a course?
Finding a Spokane Chinese tutor is easy when you reach out to Varsity Tutors. We can help you decide whether an online Chinese class or private instruction is the right model for you. It's easy to fit either of these lessons styles into your schedule because of their flexible scheduling and virtual nature. Whether you're taking your first Chinese class at Ferris High School or you're in an advanced class at Gonzaga University, also studying with an instructor one-on-one or in an online course with other students can make a big difference in your comprehension and retention of the language.
You don't have to waste precious time hunting for academic support on your own. That's what we're here for. It doesn't matter whether you're motivated by required course work or you have a goal to explore Chinese-speaking countries, there are a variety of options you can choose from for Spokane Chinese lessons. Contact Varsity Tutors today. We look forward to helping you find the right support for your endeavors.

...as a Teaching Assistant at Whitworth University, as a youth mentor at West Side Church in Richland, WA, and as an English teacher in Taiwan. As a tutor, my teaching philosophy focuses on helping students to develop the confidence and study skills they need to successfully learn on their own. My interests include history, Chinese culture, science fiction and fantasy, the occasional video game, and hiking. I look forward to meeting new students!... My teaching philosophy revolves around helping students gain the confidence that they need to master new material. Students thrive when they recognize that they are capable of learning. Listening to student's own concerns and ideas, and helping students talk through problem areas, can unlock the cognitive blocks that inhibit learning.
