Chinese Mandarin Courses in North America
Mandarin is the main language of government, education and media in China and Taiwan, and one of the four official languages in Singapore. It is distinctive from the other Chinese languages in phonology, timing and vocabulary. It is often hailed as the most spoken language in the world, and this impressive statistic, combined with China's development into one of the world's key economic players, makes knowing Mandarin a great skill to have.
We also have courses in Chinese (Cantonese)

Cactus Level 2 Chinese (Mandarin) Courses
Is this your level? I have some knowledge of the language, which I would like to consolidate and extend. I can introduce myself and can describe the immediate world around me. I have come across different grammatical structures, but am not confident of using them. I have a limited ability to communicate and find it difficult to understand the spoken language.
I know more Chinese (Mandarin) or take our level test.
