So you want to learn Chinese, the most widely spoken language in the world?
A friend of mine has recently started a business offering one-to-one Mandarin Chinese lessons over the internet at very affordable prices (around $4.5/£2 per lesson). The ingenious part of this is that you use instant messaging voice & video chat to interact with the tutor - they support all the popular clients such as Skype, MSN, Yahoo, AIM & Google Talk - it doesn’t matter where you are in the world so long as you have an internet connection!
All of the teachers are native graduates and speak good English. They provide tailor-made lessons for all ability levels and age groups (Kids, Teens, Adults) as well as partner programs for Schools and Corporations. You can arrange the lessons at a time best for you, so whether you want to learn regular Chinese, business Chinese, travel Chinese, Chinese culture or etiquette, there really is no excuse not to now!
Check out www.newtimeslearning.com for a free trial lesson, you’ll thank me in 20 years time when we’re all part of the Great Chinese Empire
