Beginner Conversational Chinese - A beginners' course which focuses on developing the skills of listening and speaking in Mandarin Chinese. The courses aim to equip the students with useful words and phrases for practical use and will run on Tuesday evenings from 6-8pm.

Confidence Chinese – Spread across ten levels, this series is designed for those who wish to develop their Chinese oral communication skills but have limited time. Confidence sessions  run once a week from 6-8pm on either a Tuesday or a Wednesday evening.

Chinese in Steps – With four levels, this series caters to students of all abilities who wish to develop all four skills, i.e. reading, writing, speaking and listening, in tandem. Participants are required to commit to two evenings per week, with Step sessions running on both Mondays and Thursdays from 6-8pm.
