FAQ
How long does it take to fully learn Mandarin?
Learning Mandarin will likely take a little longer than learning other languages. For native English speakers, it is difficult to get a grasp of Chinese characters, pronunciation, and grammar. That’s why it’s beneficial to take lessons with experienced Mandarin teachers, who fully understand the pain points of learning Chinese and can help students learn faster. At TakeLessons you can find tutors that offer in-person sessions and the best online Mandarin lessons for any age or level.
Can you teach yourself Mandarin?
You can teach yourself Mandarin, but it won’t be easy. Just like with learning any other language, it helps a lot to have someone to practice the language with. A private teacher is great because they not only offer you one-on-one language practice, they can correct your mistakes and offer you specific advice for your learning needs along the way. TakeLessons has a selection of Mandarin teachers that are experienced in coaching language students. TakeLessons offers the best online Mandarin lessons for learning Chinese grammar, mastering the alphabet, and understanding how to hold a conversation.
