Common challenges in learning Mandarin Chinese as an adult

You get frustrated or sidetracked while trying to learn Mandarin Chinese. Even if you'd taken classes in school, it can be hard to recall what you'd learned. And since you're busy with other responsibilities, it can be very hard to keep your motivation and focus to learn Mandarin Chinese.

Not enough chances to apply your learning in daily life

Rote learning of Mandarin Chinese doesn't teach you how to really use it, and makes it more likely you'll forget what you've learned. It's important to apply what you learn in different situations.

Nervousness about communicating in public

Frequently learners won't catch everything that another person says, and worry about making mistakes themselves while speaking.

Don't know where to start

There are a million resources on the internet, but it's hard to tell what will make sense for you.

I’ve studied Mandarin Chinese for a long time, so why am I still unable to really improve in Mandarin Chinese?

Often people have studied Mandarin Chinese ahead of an exam. But that often means just learning for a test, and not really learning the skill itself. Because the skill isn't applied enough in daily life, it becomes harder to commit your learning to your long-term memory.

3 key ways for adults to enhance their proficiency in Mandarin Chinese
Immerse yourself in Mandarin Chinese environment
Immerse yourself in Mandarin Chinese environment
Learning Mandarin Chinese can be boring when you're just working from a textbook. That approach also generally doesn't teach you how Mandarin Chinese can fit into your daily life.

Instead it helps to make learning fun, and the easiest way to do that is to make Mandarin Chinese relevant to your everyday life! In our courses, tutors will help you develop the right mindset and approach for learning Mandarin Chinese through tailored lessons and real-life scenarios.
One-on-one, interactive teaching
One-on-one, interactive teaching
The best way to learn how to speak Mandarin Chinese fluently is by actually speaking it with a live person! Of course, it isn't always easy to find a native speaker to practice with you. And as adults, we often become more self-conscious about speaking another language and worried about making mistakes. This is why it helps to learn with another person who is ready to support you, and who knows how to help you overcome mistakes.

When done well, online learning can help you overcome the obstacles in your path and the challenges of self-study. You can work with the teacher of your choice whenever and from wherever you want. Through steady practice, you can build confidence and proficiency in Mandarin Chinese.
Tailored-made Mandarin Chinese courses
Tailored-made Mandarin Chinese courses
There are many organizations providing Mandarin Chinese classes. However, they often emphasize theoretical knowledge, which means you're not always prepared to put what you learn into practice. In addition, the teacher's time is split among many students, making it harder to get personalized attention and help.

By contrast, one-on-one learning focuses on your individual needs. Your tutor is able to tailor the lesson for each student. For instance, if you want to learn Mandarin Chinese for travel, the tutor can incorporate relevant lesson content that you can apply on your upcoming trip. Add to that flexible scheduling, and it's easy to see why one-on-one learning is the perfect match for busy life.
