Curriculum
2 IN 1
As the name suggests, the course provides double benefits to its students. In the first instance, students get to learn conversational Chinese, and secondly (for those who want it), the option of appearing for HSK exams at the same time. Using this curriculum, Silk Mandarin provides its students a practical and proficient course that quickly improves conversational Chinese while at the same time measures their proficiency levels against established scales. This course thus obviates the need to prepare separately for HSK exams and helps students save time and money.
2 PLUS 1
2 PLUS 1, focuses mainly on teaching Business Chinese/BCT with the basic curriculum being the same as in “2 IN 1”. In addition, it also teaches vocabulary, structures and phrases in different Business settings. This course provides a great insight into Chinese business culture, manners and etiquette, which is of paramount importance when doing business in China.
To accommodate the wishes and needs of students, both the curricula can be followed using different courses with the intensive courses best suited for students wanting a deep knowledge of Mandarin in all its aspects including listening, speaking, reading and writing within a short span.
For those short of time, the school provides part-time courses which can be taken according to one’s convenience like on weekdays, over weekends or in the evenings.
Private Chinese lessons account for the utmost flexible and personalized lessons tailored as they are to students’ personal schedules and needs, while our Real-Life Online Course makes students feel like they are actually in a classroom together with the teacher, and in the case of a group class, also together with their classmates.”
