Mandarin 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 Mandarin Chinese - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Mandarin Chinese usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Mandarin 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 Mandarin Chinese culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Mandarin Chinese.
These Mandarin Chinese lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Mandarin 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 Mandarin Chinese, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
The Mandarin Chinese lessons are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One Mandarin Chinese Lesson or Small Group In-Company Mandarin 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 Mandarin Chinese Lessons can be run with up to 12 people.
Mandarin Chinese Testimonials
"China has always fascinated me, and I'm going to be travelling around Asia in 6 months' time, so I wanted to be able to speak the basics. It was really hard at first, but my teacher was friendly and didn't rush me. I learned what I needed to learn - thanks Listen & Learn!"
Halifax
Settled by the world-famous Colonel Edward Cornwallis, Halifax is named after the President of the British Board of Trade in 1746, Lord Halifax. Forty percent of all the residents of Nova Scotia live in this beautiful city, with many engaging in maritime industries provided by all the bodies of water that surround the Halifax area. Tourism is another primary industry for the city, with Canadian and European tourists coming to Halifax in large numbers during the summer months of the year. Tourists bring dollarsÂ…and different languages as well. That means residents of Halifax will reap significant benefits from learning languages such as French, Italian, Spanish and Arabic. Many Pacific Rim countries are also well-represented in Halifax, which makes learning Chinese, Korean and Japanese popular and productive choices as well.
