Course Description
With 15 classes per week (2023) and 20 classes per week (2024), you’ll boost your Chinese skills rapidly. The programme is suitable for beginners and learners who want to quickly take their Mandarin to the next level. You will be busy with classes, but that’s what intensive study is all about!
Your teachers will help you master real-life Chinese, focusing on improving your ability to listen, speak and understand the Chinese language. After a few classes, you will notice a significant improvement in your listening and speaking skills.
Course Features
- Perfect for Short Term
This programme is designed for students who want to accomplish more within a shorter period of time.
- High Efficiency
It’s a time-saving, intensive program that features classes every day, 5 days a week. In 4 weeks, you will complete one TM level of study – so it’s a great option for those who want to master the language fast.
- Small-Group Classes
With only up to 8 students/class, you’ll get more attention from the teacher and learn more in one lesson. Plus you can meet other international students from different countries and backgrounds.
- Conversational Practice
The Intensive Chinese classes focus on improving your ability to listen, speak, and understand Chinese, as opposed to reading and writing. Your teachers will help you to build a strong foundation to master real-life Chinese as spoken daily by native Chinese speakers.
Special note for 2024 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2024 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2023 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2024 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Course Curriculum:
-Conversational Practice
All your Chinese lessons will focus on building your speaking and listening skills, with a special emphasis on pronunciation, intonation and the proper use of grammar.
You will also build on your vocabulary list. In no time, you will be able to understand and express yourself fluently in daily conversations with the local Chinese.
-Reading & Writing
You have the option to add Reading & Writing classes to your program. From reading a menu to an article, you will be able to recognize many Chinese characters.
Reading & Writing is an essential aspect of the Chinese language that will improve your overall comprehension skills in listening, speaking and understanding Mandarin.
-HSK Preparation
The official Chinese proficiency exam, HSK, is not just used for Chinese university entrance anymore. Your HSK test score can determine the number of points you can gain to count towards your Chinese work visa eligibility.
Add an HSK Preparation course that will equip you with the right knowledge to ace the exam. A mock exam is included.
