You can hold simple conversations in everyday scenarios, like shopping or transportation. Now you're ready for small talk! In Chinese 3, you'll get confident talking about the weather, going out to eat, asking directions, and more.
Each class meets at the same time for 10 weeks - creating consistency in your language learning.
We believe in hands-on learning, rather than getting lost in a textbook or sucked into perfection of grammar.
We exclusively hire instructors with a conversation based and student-centered approach to teaching, providing the best in-class experience.
Speaking is at the heart of all of our classes, and in an immersive setting, you’ll get even more opportunity to practice critical speaking and listening skills.
Step 1
Talk about the weather, order food when dining out, ask for and give directions, talk about parties.
Step 2
Start here if you've already completed Chinese 2 with us, or if you can confidently use modal verbs, prepositions, adverbs for negation, quantity, time, measure words, and particles.
Step 3
Everyday vocabulary; reduplication of verbs and adjectives; comparatives; prepositions of location; adverbs and particles to describe ongoing, completed. And future actions.
Step 4
From day one, you'll be engaging in conversation with your instructor and your classmates. This will prepare you to feel confident and comfortable when speaking with natives.
We love questions, almost as much as we love providing answers. Here are a few samplings of what we're typically asked, along with our responses
Most students do miss a class, or two, and we’re here to help ensure that you won’t fall behind despite any missed classes. We’ve set up our curriculum to make lessons easy to follow along outside of class, and your teacher will reach out to your group each week with a summary of materials, topics, and homework covered in-class.
All of our group classes meet for a total of 20 hours of live instruction. Some courses meet 2 hours once a week for 10 sessions, while others meet 1 hour twice a week for a total of 20 sessions.
We know our students and teachers probably have holiday plans, so we don't hold classes on Federal holidays.
Only students 18 years or older can participate in this course. If you are looking for options for students under 18, please check out our Kids and Teens page!
As long as the group course has not been cancelled or it has spots left, there is no deadline to sign up. However, we strongly encourage you to sign up at least two weeks in advance in order to secure your spot!
Plans change—we get it. You have until 7 days before the start date of your Group Course to make any cancelations or same-level transfers. After that, there are no refunds under any circumstance. During the first 2 weeks of class, however, if you feel your level isn't the right fit, reach out to help@cricketmedia.com, and we will transfer you to a better fit, free of charge!
