Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How do I know which level is right for me?
    New students who would like to join a level higher than the Beginner’s Course need to set an appointment with the University. Our tutor will interview you to determine your level of fluency and suggest which Mandarin course to take.

By the end of the course, you will be able to have simple conversations in Chinese. Very good class materials and good learning atmosphere. I enjoyed the course all the way through!”
