The time it takes to learn Mandarin fluently depends on your dedication, practice, and learning environment. On average, it takes about 2,200 class hours to reach fluency for English speakers, according to the U.S. Foreign Service Institute. With consistent study—around 15-20 hours per week—you could achieve conversational fluency in 1-2 years. Immersive learning, like our small-group Mandarin classes, can significantly speed up your progress by providing real-world practice and cultural context.
The choice between learning Mandarin or Japanese first depends on your goals and interests. Mandarin is spoken by over 1 billion people worldwide, making it highly practical for business, travel, and cultural exchange. Japanese, while also valuable, has a smaller global reach. If you’re drawn to Chinese culture, history, or plan to work in China, starting with Mandarin is ideal. Both languages are rewarding, so consider your personal motivations and long-term objectives when deciding.
