Short course: Mandarin Chinese - advanced

Course description

We provide three different levels for advanced Mandarin Chinese classes 

• Advanced 1 focuses on cultural topics, social behaviours, values, and communication styles. You will learn to express complex ideas with nuance and understand native-level interactions more comfortably. 

• Advanced 2 develops your ability to communicate in academic and professional contexts. You will work with longer texts, express structured viewpoints, and improve high-level comprehension. 

Advanced 3 is the highest level in the programme. It focuses on mastering near-native fluency, discussing complex global topics, and expressing deep, analytical viewpoints. 

By the end you will be able to:

• Confidently discuss cultural and social issues 
• Express ideas with nuance, clarity, and detail 
• Follow conversations between native speakers 
• Respond naturally in real-life communication 

Benefits of this course:

• Strengthen advanced grammar usage 
• Prepare for higher-level academic or professional Mandarin
