Adults' Mandarin Courses

"In an increasingly competitive job market, it is clear that foreign language proficiency adds significant value to a candidate's portfolio of skills and can give them a real competitive edge when applying for jobs." - the CBI's Education and Skills Survey 2009, Evening Standard 9 July 2009

Mandarin or pǔ tōng huà (普通话) is a family of related languages spoken across most of northern and southwestern Mainland China. The Mandarin dialect spoken in Beijing functions as the official spoken language of the People's Republic of China, the official language of Taiwan, and one of the official languages of Singapore.

Obviously, there are some slight deviations between the Mandarin variants spoken in Beijing, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong SAR. These include deviations in grammar, vocabulary, stylistic aspects, and loan words. For example, there is a 23% discrepancy in standard pronunciation between the 3,500 most commonly used characters in the 'Xinhua zidian' (Xin Hua Dictionary) of China. In EMUK, we provides customized curriculums in the Mandarin courses teaching simplified characters.

Our weekend and weekday evening courses are open to the public during term time.
