Mandarin Lesson for Travellers

Toronto Chinese Academy

Mandarin Lesson for Travellers

If you are planning to travel to China in the near future, and you don’t have the time to systematically improve your Chinese proficiency, but you want to get a general understanding of simple conversations needed for travel to enrich your experience, then this course is the best choice for you.

Based on our observations over the years, the sense of fulfillment that learners experience during their trips to China is directly proportional to their proficiency in Chinese. In other words, as learners improve their Chinese proficiency, they discover more and more cultural points of interest in China. For example, when visiting Chengdu, they may be invited to a local’s home and experience the unique warmth of Chengdu residents. Do you also believe that language can bring different and more profound experiences to travelers?

Ordering dishes, handling household registration procedures, asking for directions, inquiring about places, discussing prices, dealing with emergencies, and so on.

You can choose one or a combination of three methods: ‘attend classes in our office,’ ‘online classes,’ or ‘self-study on our website with professional guidance from our teachers.’

Currently, we have three offices available for students to choose for attending classes in the Greater Toronto Area.

For online teaching, we primarily use Skype.

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. Our teachers’ professional guidance can help you save time, achieve continuous improvement, maintain motivation, and boost confidence.

Whether it’s in-person or online, in our Group Classes. There is a maximum of five students in each Group Class, you get more attention from the teacher and more opportunity to practice your Mandarin speaking. Each class lasts for one and a half hours.

For Semi-private classes, each class accommodates a maximum of two students, with each class lasting for one hour.

Private classes have only one student at a time, and the class schedule is more flexible, with each class also lasting for one hour.

Group Class costs $268.00 per session, with each session consisting of six lessons. If a student attends one class per week, it will take six weeks to complete one session. If a student attends two classes per week, it will take three weeks to finish one session.

Semi-private classes are priced at $428.00 per session, with each session comprising ten lessons. Typically, it takes ten weeks, or two and a half months, to complete one session.

Private classes are priced at $598.00 per session, with each session also containing ten lessons. Generally, it takes ten weeks, or two and a half months, to complete one session.

Currently, we have new classes starting every week. However, the locations, timings, levels, and learning focuses may vary.

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.
