FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I do Business Chinese Classes as a beginner?

Yes you can.

Of course, classes also cover a lot of general aspects of Chinese like pronunciation, tones and grammar that are not directly related to business – but these are necessary to be able to start speaking.

You’ll find that all dialogues and example sentences are built around the work environment, such as greeting a business partner, asking for help in the office etc.

How long will it take for mea to speak Business Chinese?

How long it takes to learn Chinese up to a level where you can do business negotiations in Mandarin depends very much on how you study it.

One very important factor is that for Chinese, shorter and more intensive courses work better than longer and less intensive ones.

The reason for this is that when you have longer breaks between classes the probability that you’ll forget what you learned is much higher.

We have had students who made it from zero to HSK 5 within two years, whilst running an international company and being on business trips almost every second week.

Our advice is always to first define a target (where do you want to get to), identify your resources (time, motivation, budget), and then let us help you create a structured plan.

Can you issue Fapiaos?

Yes of course we can.

However, because Chinese tax regulations are incredibly complex, annoying and sometimes simply do not make sense, we need to know that you want a Fapiao and to whom it should be issued to before you start your Mandarin course.

Please note that in China Fapiaos can only be issued to Chinese companies with a Chinese name. However, a normal invoice and receipt can also be issued at a later point, to any entity you wish, including companies with names in languages other than Mandarin.

Can I take Business Chinese Classes online?

Yes absolutely.

We have individual Chinese Online classes which are tailored to your needs. You can also book these online via our website.

What Our Students Say

“I studied Business Chinese for one year with LTL. Because I have to travel abroad a lot for work, it was great how supportive the staff was with scheduling. They were professional and flexible with everything.”

"I was doing individual classes I focused on business Chinese. Learning business Chinese is different from learning normal Chinese. My teacher, Kristen was very good at both!"

"I’ve done a lot of business in China, but I want to expand. I thought I’d kick start my Chinese learning, take a month of classes and go hardcore, and at the same time be closer to my clients."
