Thank you! Jin will email you within one business day.

Jin Deng, our Head of Online Teaching, will write from jin@studycli.org (Monday to Friday, China time, except Chinese public holidays) to confirm your teacher, the time and the link for your lesson. If no teacher is free at the time you chose, she will suggest another time that works.

We've also emailed you a copy of your request. If Jin's email doesn't arrive, check your spam folder, or write to her at jin@studycli.org.

Before your lesson

  • Find a quiet place where you can speak out loud.
  • Have headphones with a microphone ready.
  • Install the platform you chose (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, VooV Meeting or WeChat) and check that it opens.

Start the free Chinese course while you wait

Our free course begins with the four tones and pinyin, with real recordings you can play as often as you like. Try the first lesson before you meet your teacher, and bring your questions.
