Chinese Courses
Within the last years, China converted itself into one of the most interesting countries in the world. This leads to the increased importance of studying Chinese with regard to the world of work.
The Chinese language comprises a family of various languages whereby the common one is “Mandarin” which is also the language we offer in our school.
The objective of our Chinese courses is to teach our students the basics of the language: listening comprehension, reading, oral and written expression.
The methodology used at Pylmon is to first of all study phonetics so that at the beginning there is no encounter with the Chinese characters; the objective of this way of teaching is to build a solid base of phonetics.
The Chinese characters are one of the most important aspects when studying this language. In order to learn these characters, basic strokes and simple characteristics are used.
We offer different Chinese courses:
ACADEMIC COURSE
Due to the complexity of the Chinese language our groups a very small with only 3 to 6 students which assures a very personalized and effective learning experience. Our teachers are native speakers, graduates and have experience in teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
The academic extensive course Chinese consists of 2 hours per week on one day. The course takes place from October to June, although courses can generally be started any time of the year.
INTENSIVE SUMMER COURSE
In summer (July – September), Pylmon Languages also offers intensive Chinese courses.
These courses are designed for students that dispose of more time and that want to take advantage of their summer holidays in order to improve their Chinese.
PRIVATE CLASSES
The private classes are dedicated to people that need high flexibility with regard to their schedule and that have little time. In order to benefit from the classes to the fullest, this is the best option as the student will be able to study in his own pace.
The content as well as the schedule and starting date will be adapted to the student’s needs and objectives.
Due to the fact that our private classes always take place with the same teacher and at a certain time, being on time is highly-recommended. In case that you cannot assist a class, you should let us know 24 hours beforehand, otherwise you have to pay the class.
IN-COMPANY CLASSES
We know that nowadays it becomes more and more difficult to have enough time at one’s disposal to come to class. This is the reason why we offer a team of professionals educated in teaching Chinese as a foreign language that offer in-company classes.
We offer these Chinese courses for individuals as well as for groups. Besides, we organize a special program for our students and take their wishes and objectives into account by preparing an academic program realizing their necessities and interests.
