What is an in-person intensive group?
An adult Chinese course for learners who can dedicate focused time. You study at fixed times with peers of a similar level, connecting pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and all four skills. The course is structured, with real-life communication tasks built in.
Provisionally Monday to Thursday, with three 50-minute lessons per day. Frequent classes let you reuse new language right away. Four weeks is a flexible starting block that can extend into a longer plan.
- Who it suits
- Adults new to China, able to study intensively for a period, or rebuilding their foundations. Beginner to intermediate levels.
- How a lesson works
- Start by understanding new language, practise through explanations, pair work and group tasks, then refine pronunciation, wording and sentences with feedback.
- How it is organised
- Available in Hangzhou and Shanghai; usually 4, up to 6 students. 4 weeks = 48 lessons, 40 teaching hours. Cultural activities are arranged separately.
Guided by a teacher, supported by peers.
From understanding new material to expressing your own ideas, the classroom becomes a place for continuous practice.
Constant exposure
Four days a week, so new language carries straight into the next lesson.
Class meets daily life
All four skills are linked to city life and culture, so you learn how language is really used.
