One-to-one General/Business
Mandarin Chinese Course in London
Whether you're looking to learn a language for personal or business reasons, our tailor-made courses can help you achieve your aims.
While a General Mandarin Chinese course will provide you with enough linguistic ammunition to allow you to survive a short visit to the country (greetings, basic conversation and a solid grammatical foundation). Business courses are great for those whose career will be moving overseas - you would learn the fundamental protocols for engaging in business in Mandarin Chinese, and later would start to focus more on the integral skills of reading and writing.
Our Mandarin Chinese courses would not be fixed to a specific curriculum, however. You know the specifics of what you will need from your new language, and all you need do is tell your teacher. Perhaps if you are taking a Business course, you may want to focus more on Mandarin Chinese telephone or email skills, or a specific vocabulary for your line of work. Equally, a General course will cover the fundamentals, but further focus in any particular area can easily be arranged with your teacher.
We have a wide range of Business course clients for a variety of needs; including people who are off to work for a foreign administration, people working in a corporation with overseas headquarters, and import/export specialists. General courses are not simply for those who need to reach a certain level of Mandarin Chinese for an exam - they are perfect for those wishing to pack up and move abroad, those marrying a Mandarin Chinese national, as well as those travelling to the country for any other reason.

Info about London
London may well be THE place to pick up a second language - the city is awash with ethnic diversity thanks to the size, splendour and influence of the EU's most populous city. Over 300 languages are spoken around the sprawling mass of boroughs known as Greater London, shared amongst the 7 and a half million residents of the city.
As the capital of the UK, London has always attracted overseas interest, which is only helped by the fact that the city houses five international airports, including the busiest international airport in the world - Heathrow. This creates a constant influx of tourists and immigrants from a huge variety of cultural and religious origin. If there was ever a place ideally suited for learning another language, surely London is it - something that foreigners know only too well, as London is a global centre for English language learning.

Info about Mandarin Chinese
Standard Mandarin is infamous for being a gruelling challenge for non-native speakers - made ever harder by a writing system that is entirely non-syllabic (you can't read it unless you recognise the character), a way of speaking where meanings can change dramatically if your phonology (pitch and pronunciation) isn't spot on, and regional accents and dialects with significant differences between one another.
Even though the varieties of Mandarin Chinese encompass a huge landmass with a population of almost a billion, the language has skyrocketed in popularity as a foreign language in recent decades due to China's ever-growing economy and presence as a major world power. Many countries now heavily promote Mandarin as a second language, realising its future potential for business means.

I had my second lesson from Midori this week and I am finding both tutor and the lessons great. I must also add that it is lovely been taught by a Japanese native. Midori is very enthusiastic to talk about Japanese culture as well as the language.
