Our Chinese speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the lesson are provided for you.
Chinese lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Chinese - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Chinese usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Chinese classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Chinese culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Chinese.
Those who would benefit the most from these Chinese tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Chinese to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing lessons can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Chinese, as well as survival Chinese should a visit to the country be necessary.
If there are 2 or more of you with the same level of Chinese, the same targets within the language, and be able to study at the same time and location, then you'll be happy to know that these Chinese lessons can also be made available for Two-to-One Chinese Lessons or Small Group In-Company Chinese Lessons. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster lessons in Chinese can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.
Schools and the media in China and Taiwan all use Standard Mandarin, emphasizing its importance and spreading its popularity
Writing in Chinese is a mystery for the uninitiated - you simply have to learn each symbol's meaning and pronunciation - there are no clues from how each symbol looks
Since it is frequently the only common tongue between Chinese people of different regions, Mandarin is often used for logistical reasons and convenience
