As the second most-spoken language in the world and a key driver of the global economy, Mandarin Chinese is absolutely essential for business and international travel. Mandarin is a tonal language, which is why the conversational, immersive techniques used in Berlitz's Mandarin classes are crucial for success. You will speak and hear the language throughout every course, guided by a Berlitz-certified native-fluent instructor. This constant exposure will quickly build your confidence in speaking, listening, and understanding Mandarin in any real-life setting.
Cultural lessons are also a fundamental part of our program. These sessions ensure you understand the cultural nuances and non-verbal skills required to communicate correctly. This cultural element is just as important as the language itself! Learn Mandarin with us and truly master all aspects of Chinese culture.
