Course Introduction

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.

This 12-week program is packed with learning opportunities

Pre-Class Learning:

Before your live lessons, you’ll watch video lectures, read key materials, and complete assignments—all at your own pace. You can pause, rewind, and revisit the content anytime to ensure you fully understand everything before practicing in class!

In-Class Practice:

You will join a small group of no more than 5 students for interactive speaking practice! Our native Chinese teachers provide instant feedback, guide discussions, and engage you in fun, hands-on activities to boost your confidence and fluency.

Contextual Learning:

We teach vocabulary and grammar through real-life situations and relatable topics, helping you think in Chinese naturally—without relying on translation.

Microlearning:

Our lessons are short and focused, so you can learn specific words, phrases, or grammar points without feeling overwhelmed. We use spaced repetition to help you remember what you’ve learned and make steady progress over time.

Flexible Scheduling:

The time for Live Lessons will be picked at convenient times that work best for each group of students, considering different time zones to ensure everyone can join and participate.

The major strengths in the course are the level and quality of the learning materials. The learning materials are organized and practical.

Anna

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.
