Mandarin School

Classes for people who want to order lunch, take a taxi, and understand the answer — not to recite a textbook.

Levels

  • Survival (A0). Tones, numbers, greetings, ordering, directions, and the phrases that get you out of trouble in week one.
  • Everyday (A1–A2). Shopping, transport, appointments, and a first real conversation. Characters introduced alongside speaking.
  • Working Mandarin (B1). Meetings, email, and the polite forms that matter in an office.
  • Conversation table. No new grammar. One topic, one hour, everyone speaks.

How classes run

Groups are capped so that everybody speaks in every session. Each class is two hours, twice a week, in an eight-week term. If a group does not suit you after the first week, move to another at no cost.
