Alternative to Tutor

Is there any alternative to hiring a tutor at the usual rates?

It depends on what you want to achieve.

If you want the exact results obtainable by hiring a usual-rated tutor without paying usual rates, then probably no.

But if you just want to get some practise in Chinese language, alternatives in general range from mutually beneficial language exchange to marrying a native speaker.

However, if marriage is desireable sometime along the road anyway (like it is for many though not all), then combining the two may be cheaper than pursuing the two goals separately - in the long run.

In fact, putting your and your prospective special one through the frustration of learning languages together may work to shape out the rough edges early on.
