Are you interested in learning one of the world’s most spoken languages? Mandarin Chinese may seem intimidating at first, but it is actually easier to learn than many other languages. There are no verb conjugations, no plurals, no tenses, no subject-verb agreement, and no noun declension. This means that once you learn the basic grammar and vocabulary, you will be able to communicate with native speakers with ease.

We offer Chinese courses for everyone, including beginners who have no prior knowledge of the language. Our classes provide a comprehensive introduction to the language, culture, and history of China, giving you a solid foundation for further study.

In addition to our traditional Chinese courses, we also offer free optional Chinese Conversation classes online, delivered live by teachers from China. These classes are a great way to practice your speaking skills and improve your fluency in the language.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, our Chinese courses are open to everyone. So why not take the first step on your Chinese language journey and sign up today? You’ll be amazed at how much you can learn and how quickly you can progress. For advanced level courses and private tuition, please contact the Confucius Institute directly.
