Overview

Welcome to Le Mandarin School (LMS) which offers quality and value-for-money e-learning Mandarin courses!

It offers fundamental e-learning Mandarin courses that will suit foreigners who do not have time to learn Chinese language, which is known to be a difficult language for many foreigners. The approach is akin to the Chinese wisdom of “授人以鱼不如授人以渔” i.e."give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Thus once a student has mastered Pinyin (spelling sound) via BCMIP courses, he/she has no difficulty in pronouncing any Chinese word at all. Also, by understanding the nature of Chinese characters via BUOCC course, then he could read and pronounce the Chinese characters with confidence. All courses are conducted in English.

The main advantage of e-learning allows the students to learn anytime and anywhere that fits their busy schedule. There are also quizzes at the end of every topic to test the student's understanding and the instructor would able to diagnose the problems and help the students to improve. Finally, there are video calls with the student which work like a checkpoint to facilitate learning.

The first lesson of BCMIP1 is FREE currently and you are most welcome to trial it, and determine whether the course fits your requirements before you sign up for the paid course. Please contact the School for the free trial.
