Find the right level

The difficulty of the lessons is increased by level in the following order: Survival – Beginner – Elementary – Intermediate – Advanced

If you are interested in learning Mandarin Chinese and have no experience, we would suggest starting now with Survival Level. Taking classes is a great way to understand the basics of Mandarin Chinese, and to meet other English 1 teachers before you arrive in China.
