No prior experience is necessary. BaoDao Talk provides lessons for all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners, ensuring you start at the right level for you.

Our online Mandarin lessons range from $30 to $63 per session (50 minutes). The first trial lesson is free. Note that each account is eligible for only one trial lesson, regardless of the tutor chosen.

There are no upfront fees for searching or signing up, and no packages are required. We operate on a point system where 1 point equals $1. You can prepay to top up your account with points, which are then used to pay for lessons.

Start by identifying your learning goals and defining your specific learning needs, whether you want to achieve conversational fluency, prepare for business Chinese, or get ready for exams like the HSK. Assess your current level of Mandarin proficiency to ensure you select a tutor who can meet you at your skill level and help you progress effectively.

At the same time, determine your preferred learning style—do you prefer conversational practice, grammar-focused sessions, or cultural immersion? Knowing this will help you find a tutor whose teaching approach meets your learning preferences.

Next, read through tutor profiles carefully. Look for qualifications, teaching experience, and their approach to instruction. Pay attention to reviews from other students to gauge their effectiveness and teaching style. Also, consider their scheduling flexibility to ensure that lesson times fit your availability, as consistent practice is key to language learning success.

Learning from native Chinese speakers offers significant benefits, including authentic pronunciation, cultural insights, and real-world language use. Native tutors can provide nuanced feedback and a deeper understanding of the language context.

Finally, take advantage of trial lessons to assess compatibility. This allows you to experience their teaching style firsthand and see if it matches your expectations and learning style. A good rapport with your tutor can greatly enhance your learning experience and motivation.
