Pinyin is the core and foundation of correcting pronunciation. Correcting pronunciation requires strategy and the rich experience of a teacher; it is definitely not as simple as just listening more or practicing more, as some may think. Therefore, for those who need to correct their pronunciation, our course is the best choice.

It’s not necessary to start with Pinyin for learners with a Cantonese background, but Pinyin is indeed a key medium that distinguishes Cantonese from Mandarin.

In our program, Pinyin classes primarily focus on Pinyin, but we adopt various methods tailored to individual students’ specific situations to help them improve their Mandarin language proficiency.

Our introduced method of ‘self-study on our website with professional guidance from our teachers’ can meet various scholars’ different requirements in terms of study time, learning progress, and finances.

Therefore, I would recommend a free consultation either at our office or online to discuss your skill level and language goals in greater detail. This will offer an excellent opportunity for you to learn more about our curriculum and also help us gain a better understanding of your specific needs.

Classes are student-centred and based on the communicative approach to help students learn the grammar and structures.

Speaking activities provide students with a chance to practice grammar points in actual real-life situations through the use of pair work，debates，role plays， discussions，simulations，etc.

Students will make presentations. This will help them to build confidence with Mandarin language，and teacher will give an idea of how easily students able to apply what they have learned.

Homework to ensure the full understanding of materials and functions of the language.

In addition to the textbook，work book，and homework sheets，the audio files will help to ensure student success.

TCA Students are encouraged to join our Friday practice($00) – MST (Mandarin Speaking Time) to practice what they have learned in the class and learn some new as well.
