2012 年龙年的教育公益课程

子午文院将在龙年，为广东人开设部分免费的普通话课程

中文普通话不仅是中国、台湾的官方语言，而且由于亚太地区经济实力的逐年增长，普通话成了世界上流行最快的语言。子午文院为了向社会推广中文普通话，专门设计了一个从龙年开始的普通话初级班课程。这个课程不但适合于以学习中文为目的的外国人，更适合于在英国生活的广东人，因为教材中提供了全套用拼音学习日常用语的课文与练习。全部课程为十四周共28小时，从2月11日星期六中午11点至下午1点开始。我们深知，经济衰退对每一个人的影响，为了减少学生的负担，这个课程的第一学期的前八周是免费的。

有关这个公益课程的详细情况，请参看在本页右下方的 Mandarin for Cantonese Speakers 的一栏。

2011 update

We have a growing range of courses for learners of all levels get to grips with the Chinese language and culture

We teach Putonghua (standard Mandarin) - the most widely used form of Chinese in the world.

Our range of “Zoom In Mandarin” courses are perfect for professionals who want to learn Chinese for work, as well as those who want to learn more general Chinese. Whatever course you chose, you’ll learn practical Chinese that prepares you for formal exams but goes beyond the boundaries of the GCSE or HSK curriculum.

Whichever course you chose, you’ll learn practical Chinese that prepares you for formal exams but goes beyond the boundaries of the GCSE or HSK curriculum.

Who do we teach and where?

We teach relevant, useful, real Chinese to complete beginners or intermediate and advanced level students.

You can learn individually or in small group classes, at home, on site at your organisation or at one of our convenient locations around London.

Who does the teaching and how are the courses taught?

All our classes are taught using a combination of senior level tutors and several teaching assistants - all of whom speak good English and have years of experience teaching native English speakers - so every student benefits from lots of personal attention.

We use our own textbooks of “Zoom In Mandarin 1 to 4” combined with the pioneering TDR teaching method.

We use various other unique Meridian tools and materials to bring the classes to life and help students practise what they learn.

What will you learn?

You’ll learn (or improve) your core skills of speaking, listening/understanding, reading and writing Chinese.

Each course has a different emphasis on these skills and private tuition or corporate training can be tailored to specific needs. All our lessons are infused with cultural insights and experiences that make them the next best thing to learning Mandarin in China!
