Learn to Speak Mandarin Chinese Online with Verbalplanet.com

June 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Learning Mandarin Chinese is all about practice!

There are 4 key components to learning any foreign language: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing.

Which one of these is the "Odd-One-Out"? Which one of these is different from the other three? The answer is speaking because the other three can be done alone. It's possible to listen to the radio alone, read a book alone or write a letter; however it's impossible to take part in a conversation without the interaction of someone else. The 'speaking' element of learning a language is so crucial, which is why anyone seriously wanting to learn Mandarin should make every effort to find a qualified native Chinese speaker to practice and learn in partnership with.

Of course not everyone has a Chinese language teacher on their doorstep and to many the idea of driving to a Mandarin class and speaking in public is one which fills them with dread. Verbalplanet.com; the online language training and tuition website can offer a solution. Their online Chinese language classes are a great way to get the benefits of one to one Chinese language training and tuition without any of the hassles of travelling, large class sizes or lack of an available Mandarin language teacher.

Verbalplanet.com offers a different and uniquely web based system to learning Mandarinn Chinese through online language lessons using Skype, the leading internet telephony service.  The Verbalplanet.com system represents a very flexible approach to language learning with students being able to choose an online Chinese tutor from anywhere in the world whilst also having the flexibility to schedule Chinese language classes around work or family commitments using a personal online tuition diary.  All Mandarin lessons are interactive with a tutor lead approach which focuses on verbal communication skills.

"Mandarin Chinese is fast becoming one of the most popular languages to learn.  Now using the internet anyone can bring their studies to life in a way not possible with traditional self study methods.  Online Chinese classes with a private tutor are a great way to build confidence in speaking the language as well as perfecting your accent and building fluency.  A student that lacks confidence in their own ability will thrive under the guidance of a good tutor." says Andy Moore of Verbalplanet.com.

“One of the biggest benefits of learning a language online is that distance is no longer a barrier to education and the web can provide the learner with a truly interactive experience.   For example, using Verbalplanet.com anyone learning Mandarin Chinese can take online Chinese lessons from the comfort of their own home with a private language tutor, regardless of where they happen to be in the world.” Adds Moore.

One to one online Mandarin Chinese classes also enable the tutor to devote their attention to the student for a significant period of time, focusing far more on that particular student’s needs and abilities than is possible in a crowded classroom.   The web based system provided by Verbalplanet aims to provide professional Chinese language training at an affordable price whilst allowing the student to relax in familiar surroundings allowing them to feel more confident and more willing to discuss areas of difficulty.

The choice of Chinese language tutors on Verbalplanet.com has been increasing steadily which means that it's possible to select a tutor that matches specific learning requirements or who is available at specific times of the day. Included with every Mandarin tutor listed on Verbalplanet.com is a profile of their teaching background, qualifications and teaching approach, which allows the user to get to know a potential tutor before booking lesson time. The availability of free trial lessons by many of the Chinese tutors listed on the site also means that it is possible to evaluate the service for free before committing to buying further lesson time.

Naturally language learners use a variety of materials to achieve fluency. In addition to their online Chinese tuition service, Verbalplanet.com also provides extensive supplemental material, including a range of Chinese audio lessons for MP3 players and iPods.

So now, thanks to the internet, speaking fluent Mandarin is only a click away!
