Course Intoduction
You can't build a house without a strong foundation... Treat Learning Chinese the same way!
Our Steps to Success
Pronunciation From Day 1
When you learning Chinese with us, pronunciation is your priority. Why?
It makes me feel confident and ready to speak from Day 1.
We integrate pronunciation into everyday practice.
We teach you how to pronounce every word immediately!
Build Strong Foundations
You can’t build a beautiful, lifelong home without strong foundations.
Language learning is exactly the same.
First, we master the essentials of grammar and vocabulary with clear and visual explanations and lots of exercises and practice.
Real Mandarin Chinese
With your strong Chinese foundations in place and your early pronunciation advantage, you’re ready for the really fun part.
In our lessons, we speak to our friends, teaching you the real Chinese language.

What do our students say about this course?
The major strengths in the course are the level and quality of the learning materials. The learning materials are organized and practical.
All the lessons are related, so you are forced to take concepts from previous lessons and build upon them. This makes the material a bit easier to remember.
The strongest part of the course is pronunciation.
The teachers are great and have useful materials. The work on tones and pronunciation is fantastic.
Learn different themes each day but continue using them in the following lessons. Plus daily lesson is important. Thanks
The flexibility of handing in homework assignments whenever it suits you best and the daily 30-minutes classes is the best part.
