Get to know more about Chinese culture and enrich your Mandarin.

Culture Yard‘s language school focuses on making learning a language as interesting and as simple as possible. We realise that once students have achieved a certain level in their language study there are other methods in which they can continue their education. Which is why we have created our Exploring Chinese Social Trends extra group class.

This is a course designed  for those who want a further insight into Chinese Culture and enrich their Mandarin conversational skills at the same time. A well-designed programme is set out each month for you to engage and learn more about modern Chinese culture from a local with the scoop and understanding on Beijing culture and Chinese society.

Our Chinese Culture study course is intended for intermediate Mandarin Chinese speakers who have been learning Mandarin Chinese and have a good knowledge of the language, but want to improve their daily communication skills.

Scroll down to check out our upcoming topics. Classes will be taught in Mandarin Chinese.

Join us at Culture yard every Monday (Tuesday from April)  not only to practice your Chinese, but to also discover the cultural topics and trends China is embracing and learn new vocabulary that you might not use  in your everyday life.
