Our native-speaking qualified Chinese teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you. Classes can take place on any day of the week - even weekends - morning, afternoon or evening. If needs be, if meeting at your office or home is not suitable, you can take your lessons at the trainer's office. Study materials are supplied for you.
This set of Chinese tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Chinese. Even though all novice students will cover survival Chinese: enough Chinese to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these lessons have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Chinese culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Chinese.
These Chinese lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Chinese to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail Chinese, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
The Chinese lessons are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One Chinese Lesson or Small Group In-Company Chinese Lesson). All participants must have the same level, the same business or general language needs and be able to study at the same time in the same location. The booking must be made for all participants at the same time. Listen & Learn do not recommend group classes of more than 6-8 people although In-Company Taster Chinese Lessons can be run with up to 12 people.
Schools and the media in China and Taiwan all use Standard Mandarin, emphasizing its importance and spreading its popularity
Since it is frequently the only common tongue between Chinese people of different regions, Mandarin is often used for logistical reasons and convenience
Just under 900 million people speak Chinese Mandarin as their first language, and another 180 million can speak it as their second tongue - that's over a billion speakers worldwide
Henderson
With Las Vegas only a few miles away, it is easy to forget that Henderson has grown to become one of the 100 largest cities in America thanks to a population that currently stands at 250,000 people. Henderson sits adjacent to Las Vegas, but the two cities could not be any more different. Henderson is as conservative as Las Vegas is wild. For that reason, many business executives from the gaming industry have moved their families into the upscale homes that have been built in Henderson over the past decade. With the transient population and never-ending stream of tourists that flow in and out of the Las Vegas/Henderson area, knowing more than one language always comes in handy. In fact, there are few better ways to enrich yourself or your business opportunities than learning a new language.
