Programs:
We offer programs at four levels; Beginner,
Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced. In
addition, we have a program that is geared
towards business and another that includes an
internship after completion. If you are a
total beginner, naturally you will start at that
level. If you already have some skill in
Chinese language, we will give you a simple
verbal/written placement test upon your arrival
to insure you enter at the proper level.
You may also want a program designed with the
intension of taking/passing the Chinese
Proficiency Test or
HSK which is the Chinese equivalent to the
American TOEFL exam.
Start Dates: Group classes start at
various levels weekly. When you contact us
and as we discuss your individual needs, we will
also let you know specific dates for your level.
Of course, if you're requesting one-on-one
classes there is more flexibility on starting
dates.
