  • Keats School
  • September 13, 2020

There are loads of free resources online for your reference for learning Chinese, but you might have wasted too much time on looking for a practical one. Let’s jump out from that pool and I will show you seven best ways to learn Chinese online. 

An electronic dictionary is a necessary helper.

The most basic and necessary tool for a language learner should be the dictionary. Nowadays, it’s convenient and easy to download helpful and useful electronic dictionaries on your mobile phone. For Chinese learners, I would recommend Pleco as your first choice. You can look up Chinese words by drawing them on the screen without worrying about stroke order mistakes, and you can also look up unknown Chinese words using your device’s camera. It also supports looking up words in a document.

Pleco owns a huge and growing collection of licensed dictionary databases, with the recording from two different native speakers for 34,0000 Mandarin words with Cantonese support. 

Use tool smart can help you learn the Chinese language faster and better.

You can find more supports and help from this Chinese learning app. TCB, “The Chairman’s Bao” is the most comprehensive news-based graded reader for students of Chinese. It is a smart method to combine various reading resources for Chinese learning. TCB provides affordable subscription services for both individuals and organizations. Used in 200+ of the world’s most prestigious schools and universities. As a Keats student, you will have free access to the complete TCB materials. With comprehensive reading, you would further explore Chinese culture and background, which can help you learn Chinese better and faster. However, you probably need a teacher to guide you through all the materials to make the most out of it. Therefore, the Chinese learning app TCB is also one of the best ways to learn Chinese online and could be used as an assistant in your language study.

Attend Online Chinese classes at Keats School

 

With great convenience and flexibility, online Chinese classes are normally considered one of the best ways to learn Chinese online. An ideal online Chinese course should have a systematic and outstanding teaching team and teaching program. No matter what’s your learning purpose or goal, Keats School can satisfy your requirements. Your course would be customized based on your actual needs. If you’re preparing for a test, Keats will help you with test skills. If you want to learn more Chinese in circumstances of business and trade, Keats will show you proper business terms and etiquette. If language proficiency is your goal, Keats will help you master Chinese within the shortest period. If you got interested in history and culture, Keats would combine your course with more cultural and historical backgrounds. 

Studying with Keats School is not just about accepting knowledge from your teacher passively. You could actively involve in the customization of your online course. What’s more, this will help you accumulate self-confidence in studying Chinese and make real progress too. 

Watching Chinese films 

Watching Chinese movies can significantly benefit your Chinese learning, and it is one of the best ways to learn Chinese online as well. By listening and observing how people deliver real conversations in different circumstances related to authentic life contexts, you could cultivate a better language sense of Mandarin Chinese. Phrases and expressions that are frequently used in Chinese daily life would be well demonstrated in films too. Your Chinese proficiency could be facilitated when the Chinese films you picked have suitable language materials for learning. 

Keats has listed out several classic Chinese films that are suitable for Chinese learners, and you can find out more in this article EIGHT FILMS YOU NEED TO WATCH FOR LEARNING CHINESE

Learning Chinese grammar online 

Be bored with heavy and monotonous grammar textbooks? Grammar websites are one of the best ways to learn Chinese online, making grammar review and vocabulary memorization much easier and more convenient. 

The websites below are available for your choice:

Chinese gratis 

https://chinese.gratis/chinese-dictionary/

AllSet Learning 

https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/A1_grammar_points

There is a disadvantage about learning through these websites that you have no one to consult from when you confront learning problems. Based on that, I would suggest you take websites as a supplementary resource after your online course with the native teacher.

Keats Blog

Focus on providing useful learning tips and Kunming local information for Chinese learners, Keats Blog delivers practical learning skills and content to help Chinese learners accelerate their studies. 

From this Blog, you can find various information. Such as Tips for Chinese Beginner, How to Learn Chinese in 5 minutes, Five Fastest Ways to Learn Chinese, Things to do in Kunming, which are all very helpful and informative for Chinese learners, especially those who live and travel in China while studying Mandarin. You could find language events and cultural activities here as well, which bring more fun and joy to your Chinese studying. 

There is no doubt that Keats Blog should be listed as one of the best ways to learn Chinese online and a useful resource to inspire and encourage you to learn the Chinese language.

Using these best ways to learn Chinese online makes me sure your Chinese proficiency would achieve significant progress.

I really enjoy studying Chinese in Kunming at Keats. The teachers are great and my classmates are awesome. It is an unforgettable experience for me. I also got the chance to travel to other places in Yunnan. Those places are amazing and you definitely need to visit these places when you study Chinese in China at Keats.

I come to Kunming because I think the environment in Kunming is better and I heard that Keats School is better. I like the small group Chinese class because my classmates study hard and our teachers are very good. I like the teaching method of Keats because I like the activities at Keats. I think Yunnan is a particularly beautiful Chinese province.

Small Group Chinese Class

I think the Chinese learning environment here is great. The teaching methods are also very interactive and fun. What I particularly enjoy here is the fact that my teacher does not stick to the textbook. We spend a lot of time discussing general topics, such as Chinese culture, world news, typical expressions used by local people. We also discuss social and economic topics.

About studying Chinese here, I think the living condition is very convenient because the dorm is very close to the classroom. Our teachers really enjoy teaching Chinese. They are also very passionate. Compared with other cities in China, Kunming has really good weather.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

I have been to Keats School to learn Chinese for 4 times now. The reason for coming back to this school is pretty much that the teachers I did work with were very good Chinese teachers. I make it a 5-year plan or even a 10-year plan to come back to this school.  All the teachers have methods of looking at what your skills are. They are aware of at what level you are. I think it is worth for everyone.

The place is very cool. I am with a great group of people in my class, so coming to classes is very enjoyable. It is fun, we have a lot of discussions, games, activities. Our teachers are also very good, very supportive. Learning Chinese is intimidating at the start because you have so many questions. But I would advise coming to Keats because the atmosphere for learning is great. It is very relaxing. I would recommend the school.

It doesn’t matter what level of Chinese you have, or even you can start from the zero level. Your teacher will prepare the lessons according to your requirements. The advantage of living in the school is that you will have your tutoring, you will have your private accommodation with your own bathroom and all the meals provided. I highly recommend everybody to actually take the whole package because you get to meet other students.
