About the program
With 15 classes per week, you’ll boost your Chinese skills rapidly. The program 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 program 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 2023 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2023 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2022 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2023 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.
