As one of the most spoken languages in the world, Mandarin Chinese is an essential language for many purposes, including business and travel. Mandarin is a tonal language, which makes the conversational, immersive learning techniques used in Berlitz's Mandarin classes essential in acquiring the language. You'll speak and hear the language throughout every Mandarin course with a Berlitz-certified native-fluent instructor. This exposure to the language will help you gain confidence in speaking, listening, and understanding Mandarin in any real-life setting.

Cultural lessons are also included in Mandarin classes with Berlitz. With these lessons, you'll understand the cultural nuances of using the language, as well as acquire nonverbal language skills. This cultural element of the lessons can be just as important as the language skills you'll gain. Learn Mandarin with us and familiarize yourself with all aspects of the Chinese culture!

Berlitz offers face-to-face Mandarin courses in many schools in France. Find a Berlitz school near you and discover the course options!
