Courses for Adults
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 provide customized
curriculum in the Mandarin courses teaching simplified characters. Our weekend and
weekday evening courses are open to the public during term time.

Testimonials
- "Before I started my course with Easy Mandarin UK, I could already
speak a little oral Mandarin. However, I could not read or write Chinese characters at all and it was with this goal in mind that I signed up for a 10 lesson package with EMUK. Within a few weeks I was able to recognise basic Chinese characters and have basic conversations with Chinese friends in Chinese writing.
By the end of the course I had completed level 1! I am now moving on to
text book 2, which contains no pinyin in the dialogue sections. I
whole-heartedly recommend the course to people looking to improve their
Chinese rapidly." - Rob Liddiard, a city law firm, Intermediate Class
-
"I had previously tried to learn Mandarin via C.D. recordings, books and found it very difficult which made me think
I could not learn Mandarin. By going to EasymandarinUK I was able to learn the correct tones and pronunciation
in great detail. I now feel so much better about learning the language and it has given me a real platform to work which
I couldn't have got without going to EasymandarinUK. I would strongly recommend this school to anyone who is trying
to learn Mandarin." - John, Royal Bank of Scotland, Advanced Beginners Class
- 'Very practical. I thoroughly enjoy it.' - Jeremy, House of Fraser, Beginners
Class - ' The teaching style is excellent...Thank you.'
- Louise, New Media SPARK plc, Beginners Class - '' Through my
study with EMUK, I am gaining confidence each week to get ready for my trip to China...' Wendy, Graphic Designer, Beginners
