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 offers a variety of Chinese Mandarin courses to suit all needs and budgets. You can take a standard language course from 10 weeks or as little as a weekend crash course.

Course Level
Beginners Chinese (Mandarin) Courses
Is this your level? I have no knowledge or understanding of the language, other than perhaps a few key words and expressions. I have no real idea about the grammar, and have a very limited vocabulary.

Beginners Plus 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.
