Business Mandarin for Working Professionals
Speak Mandarin with confidence in meetings, presentations & negotiations
You already handle everyday conversation in Chinese. This course closes the gap for the business setting — so language is never the reason a deal, a meeting, or a presentation doesn't go your way.

Is this for you?
You can already chat, but business Chinese feels different
N-Level, AO-Level, O-Level, or self-taught — you're comfortable with everyday conversation, but meetings, presentations, and negotiations are a different challenge.
You work across industries
Finance, hospitality, real estate, tech, logistics, or any field where Mandarin-speaking clients, colleagues, or partners matter to your day-to-day work.
You're based in Singapore
Singaporean Chinese brushing up on formal/professional vocabulary, or an expat professional building on existing intermediate-to-advanced Mandarin.
What you'll learn
Every course is fully customizable to your role and industry — from a light layer on top of general content to a fully bespoke curriculum built around your work.
Business & industry vocabulary
Precise terminology for your sector — financial statements, contracts, negotiations, guest relations, property deals, and more — not generic textbook Chinese.
Real-world scenarios & role-plays
Practice the actual situations you'll face: running a meeting, pitching in Mandarin, handling objections, small talk with clients and partners.
Business etiquette & cultural fluency
Understand the etiquette, customs, and negotiation norms that shape how business is actually done in Mandarin-speaking contexts.
AI-enhanced presentations & reports
Learn to prepare polished Mandarin presentations and documents faster, using AI tools as part of your workflow — not just classroom drills.
