Chinese Mandarin Lower Intermediate - Year 2 Short Courses
The Chinese Mandarin Lower Intermediate course is run by excellent and highly experienced tutors in central London. It offers continuing development for people who have done minimum 60 hours of formal learning and keen to consolidate and advance their speaking, listening, writing and reading skills in Chinese Mandarin.
This is a three-term course, based in central London, for intermediate learners running once a week. Each term has ten two-hour classes.
