Our native-speaking qualified Chinese teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you.

Chinese 1 to 1 General

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.

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 Group Lessons

Lessons in Chinese are also accessible for 2 or more studying in tandem (Two-to-One Chinese Lesson or Small Group In-Company Chinese Lesson). All those involved must have around the same experience of the language, similar needs of areas of proficiency, and must be able to work at the same time and place. Bookings must be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advise classes of more than 6-8 people, although In-Company Taster Chinese sessions can be run with as many as 12 people.

Chinese Facts

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

Non-Mandarin dialects are not allowed in Singaporean media, as part of a national "Speak Mandarin" campaign, encouraging people to learn and use the language

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

Washington DC

Whilst the capital of the United States has a motto 'Justitia Omnibus' ('Justice for All'), it's pretty safe to say that Washington DC also offers 'Languages for All.' Language learners are in fertile pastures in the national capital, all because of the distinct cosmopolitan flavor of the city and district. Washington DC is the site for over 180 embassies, scores of worldwide organizations, ethnically diverse immigrants and those with varied ancestral origins, international students and a virtual flood of tourists. It doesn't get any better than this in terms of exposure to the languages of the world - all from the comfort of your own home. Start to study a new language in Washington DC, and marvel at not only your rapid progress, but the relevance of the language in a daily context. It's all on offer for the language learner in Washington DC.
