Questions
Before you enrol.
I understand a little but can't speak. Is this for me?
Yes. Most learners grew up hearing Mandarin or Cantonese but never spoke it. Week one resets your tones, and every class is mostly speaking.
What if I miss a class?
Every class is recorded and shared within a few hours, together with the slides and the phrases from that day.
Do I need to read Chinese characters?
No. Everything is written in pinyin first, with characters alongside for anyone who wants to learn them.
How do I get access after paying?
Once your payment is approved, you get an email with your invoice, the Zoom link and access to the workbook and recordings.
