Mandarin Chinese Lessons in Hoboken

Learn Mandarin Chinese in-person today! Listen & Learn native-speaking instructors will adapt to your needs, preferences, and requirements for all levels and learning styles. At home, at work or even at the teacher’s office.

The type of courses we offer:

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) General Mandarin Chinese

This set of Mandarin Chinese tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Mandarin Chinese. Even though all novice students will cover survival Mandarin Chinese: enough Mandarin 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 Mandarin Chinese culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Mandarin Chinese.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business 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.

mandarin-chinese Songs

Stranger in the North- Wang Lee Hom

Are you looking to acquire some Mandarin Chinese vocabulary while enjoying some nice music? Then, you should give “Stranger in the North” a try. This is a pop and rap song that talks about a traveler who wants to get to know different places in the world and describes the beautiful landscapes he wants to visit. As it uses a lot of complex sentences and prepositions, it’s more suitable for Advanced students. Plus, the rap sections are fast-paced and include many colloquial expressions, so it may be hard for beginners to understand what the singer is saying.

mandarin-chinese Songs

Light Years Away- 邓紫棋 (GEM)

Those who love pop ballads and would like to improve their Mandarin Chinese skills should listen to “Light Years Away” by GEM, a great track to start getting familiar with this tonal language. As you may know already, a word can have multiple meanings in Mandarin depending on the tone the speaker uses. In this song, you will find some examples of how this can occur (and you will notice them because it is a slow-paced piece), such as the word “ma,” which the singer pronounces with rising and falling tones.

Playhouse- JiaJia

Learning Mandarin Chinese does not only entail memorizing words from a textbook: you can also improve your listening comprehension and learn new words by doing something enjoyable, such as listening to music. For example, “Playhouse” by JiaJia is an inspiring piece that talks about self-acceptance and love. It’s a great track for beginners, as it has a very slow pace and a lot of repetitions, while also using simple grammar and everyday vocabulary. For example, some of the most common words you will learn include love (ái), kiss (wen), hate (taoyán), and work (Gōngzuò).
