I’m a retired professor with a PhD in foreign language education from UT-Austin. I've had experience teaching Mandarin to adult learners for 7+ years. My lessons are mainly task-based curriculum. I'm interesting in teaching students of various backgrounds, especially those with zero background. My goal is to help students to become an active learner, practicing speaking Mandarin, asking questions and learning tips in class, and getting familiar with online sources to become an autonomous learner.
Not. You can pick it up much faster if you take more than one class per week or focus on conversational skills only.
According to the Foreign Service Institute, US Department of State, it takes around 2,200 hours for an active learner to become a fluent foreign language learner. If you are physically here, it'll take a much shorter time with the degree of your immersion since it's a second language environment.
