A language university in China helps international students to learn Chinese and enable Chinese students to learn foreign languages in China. As China continues to develop, more and more international students would like to learn Chinese. China has established many language universities and about 457 Confucius Institutes around the world to spread Chinese culture and language around the word. Some popular language universities in China are: Beijing Foreign Studies University, Tianjin Foreign Studies University and Shanghai International Studies University.

The Chinese Language Program of Tianjin University offers Chinese language courses of eight levels covering beginners and advanced learners. The curriculum of the program includes Speaking, Listening, Reading, Comprehensive Chinese, etc.

Students are arranged according to the results of Chinese placement test at the beginning of the semester. Class size is approximately fifteen students per class. The program delivers 4 academic hours per day, 20 class hours per week. In addition, elective courses such as Taichi, Martial Arts, Calligraphy, and Chinese Cuisine are also available. Upon completion of the program students will receive a certificate and an official transcript. The program is normally one semester long, but students could apply for extension of their study period to at most four semesters in accumulation.

There’s a mobile app for just about everything, so it’s not surprising that there are so many apps to learn Chinese online. They are an awesome addition to your learning toolbox, along with Chinese TV shows, movies, and Chinese songs.

Most Chinese learning apps are powered by Spaced Repetition System (SRS). This is an algorithm that intelligently schedules Chinese characters to be reviewed at the most efficient time possible: just before you forget them.

Studies say SRS increases memory retention which makes learning a foreign language faster.  Now that you know what SRS is, check out the best apps to learn Chinese for free

Using Lingbe, you can call other Chinese learners (totally free) or native Chinese speakers (pay only US$5 for 1 hour of conversation) to practice your Chinese. Lingbe is fast, low cost and anonymous.

Anki is an app that uses SRS. You can download pre-made flashcards or make your own. You can then grade how well you know the card: “Hard”, “Good” or “Easy”. But the best thing about Anki is it’s open-source and easy to customize. Rich, CEO of China Admissions personally uses Lingbe.

Duolingo helps you learn Chinese through interactive games and bite-sized lessons. For beginners, you start with lessons such as greetings, numbers, names etc. Advanced learners need to take a placement test.

Memrise is a flashcard app that helps you memorize Chinese characters by using mnemonics and SRS. You will choose your own course and study it, after which, Memrise quizzes you on them using fun games where you get badges and virtual rewards.

Like Anki and Memrise, Skritter uses SRS but what’s unique about this app is it has a smooth on-screen handwriting feature that you can use to actively recall how to write Chinese characters wherever you are.

Hello Chinese features mini-lessons delivered through fun games. You can use their handwriting tool to practice writing characters. If you would like to speak conversational Chinese fast, this app has many listening exercises and a speech recognition tool to help with your pronunciation.

ChineseSkill is the only app that follows a curriculum designed by veteran Chinese teachers from Peking University, the best university in China. This app features automatic speech assessment, character handwriting and pinyin tone animation.

Using the apps here, you can create a learning plan to help you advance your Chinese level, or maintain your current one.

It’s a google chrome extension you can download. Any Chinese character you come across you can just hover your mouse over it to see the meaning. This literally saves you so much time instead of constantly copying and pasting into Google translate!
