NEW PROGRAMME: e-LEARNING
Without moving from home and
comfortably sitted in our room, your office or your lounge, you learn
Chinese on-line with your teacher. Directly from Beijing, a teacher is
at your disposal for the period of your learning. For it you need:
1 - a computer (WINDOWS XP ou VISTA).
2 - high speed connection.
3 - SKYPE software.
4 - a microphone and a camera.
At a scheduled hour, you will have a meeting with your teacher for a
Chinese lesson (MANDARIN).
This e-LEARNING is valid for a single person or for a group of persons
(3 to 8 maximum) of a company for instance. In the board below (2 last
lines, green color) you will find our e-LEARNING prices. The number of
months indicated is the maximum duration for the number of lessons shown.
For instance 40 lessons could be done within 4 months maximum (16 weeks),
but according to your schedule to be settled with your teacher, this
delay could be shorter and returned to 14, 12, 11, 8, .....even 1 week.
The main part is to complete the programme within the time limit
indicated, 4 months in our example. The not taken lessons would be lost
after this period.

Our families are strictly
selected. 2 meals per day included. They are very nice and welcoming. The Chinese criteria about
cleanliness being quite different from European’s, they are also aware that
their home must be faultless.
Please be aware that most families don’t speak English at all!
Most of our host family accommodation are located 10 mn on foot to the
school. However, as this accommodation is very popular, during peak seasons
we are also obliged to place our clients with
family’s living 15 to 35mn (on foot + subway). Beijing is a huge
capital and that a 30 to 40 mn distance is still very reasonable.
