Chinese 1 to 1 General

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.

Chinese 1 to 1 Business

These lessons in Chinese are meant for those that feel that learning Chinese would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's lesson, students can anticipate ending the lesson with basic telephone Chinese and e-mail Chinese skills for communicating, as well as survival Chinese if a short visit to the country is needed.

Chinese Facts

53 percent of China are able to converse in Standard Mandarin, and while that seems like a low figure, it represents about 700 million people

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

Chinese is very reliant on the pitch and tone of the speaker - if a word is spoken with the wrong stress, it can have a very different meaning
