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.

Seattle

Now don't quote me on this, but with Seattle's international reputation for coffee connoisseurs, an appreciation of a well-roasted bean and an immense figure of coffee consumption - it's a pretty conducive atmosphere for studies of any sort. But in terms of facts firmer than an assumption that students and coffee go hand in hand, just have a look at the quality of language courses in Seattle and the high proportion of mother tongue language teachers found in this coastal port city. Languages of particular interest to study for everyday life in Seattle are Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, German and Norwegian, as these five have some of the highest number of native speakers in and around this vibrant city. The choice of languages to study is abundant though, so get ready to learn the language of your dreams and aspirations in Seattle today!
