When You Speak Mandarin, People Listen
Communicate in Mandarin effortlessly. Whether it’s socialising, requesting information, presenting an argument, discussing an issue, explaining a situation, criticising a social ill, or suggesting a solution, our Mandarin Chinese courses are designed to make sure that happens.
At our Mandarin lessons, students learn Mandarin right to start, understand Chinese grammar correctly from the beginning, tune their pronunciation efficiently, and get adequate listening and speaking exercises they need.
Chinese courses are designed for non-Chinese speakers and will transform them from beginners into fluent Mandarin speakers.
Free video lessons are the best for people, who can only speak some Mandarin, to start learning how to read and write Chinese. For people who prefer to follow a teacher, they can sign up for private lessons, or join a group class. Both face to face lessons and online lessons are offered.
All Chinese courses are developed by teacher April. She is the author of two series of Chinese textbooks and many articles on the best way to teach and learn Chinese.
