THE CURRICULUM
Our partner schools use a range of books which are very similar to the official HSK books, but in our experience offer a more comprehensive and interesting curriculum, which can easily be adapted to include more useful day-to-day vocabulary and scenarios. Each student at our school is provided with a textbook, which is included in the price. As you keep the teaching materials, you can continue learning after returning home, so the classes in China can be the start of a life-long learning process.
WHY STUDY CHINESE?
Together with English, Chinese is one of the most spoken languages of the world. It is difficult to measure, but certain sources mention that nowadays more then 22 % of the world population speak Chinese, including countries in Southeast Asia such as Singapore , Indonesia , Malaysia and Thailand.
Apart from the characters, the pronunciation of the four tones and the intonation of emotion will be the most difficult part for westerners who learn Chinese. However, there are also some easy parts about learning language in comparison to European languages: The grammar is quite simple, with no conjugation of verbs, no articles and easy sentence structures. We have found that learning Chinese is also much more fun than learning European languages as it is so fundamentally different and you don’t need to get too bogged down in learning grammar.
It is said that only 1% of the western world can speak any Chinese… this means if you’re able to converse in Mandarin then you will stand out from the crowd and greatly enhance your employability!
It’s fairly obvious that foreign language skills are a desirable feature on anyone’s CV, but do they actually make you any more employable? In an increasingly global world, where business, trade and knowledge transfer have few boundaries, the answer is an unequivocal yes.
