Mandarin for Business is designed for people with a professional interest in learning Mandarin. For a number of years, Euroasia has been specialising in Mandarin language teaching and in cross-cultural consulting. Now we have combined both areas of expertise and created a series of business-related language courses.

Even at beginner level, you can benefit from taking a course related to the world of business. How does it work?

Together with a language course focusing on general vocabulary, expressions and grammar, you have two 90-minute sessions devoted entirely to business language and cultural expectations – and geared to your particular level. These sessions are conducted by native-speaker Mandarin teachers with experience in the business world.
