Our History:

MandarinHour.com was established in 2007 by two native English-speaking professionals who have been living and working in Asia since 2002.

The website was launched with a focus on providing the growing number of Mandarin learners the most convenient and affordable option to traditional language training without compromising on the quality of education standards and service. MandarinHour.com is operated by Languagehour Limited and registered in Hong Kong. 

What We Offer:

Our text-to-speech web-based language platform is taught by experienced Mandarin teachers on a one-to-one basis. Our lessons are always conducted live and hosted over the internet using the latest video conferencing technology. This web-conferencing software has been specifically designed for interactive on-line education and provides a fast yet stable e-learning environment, no matter what course you're looking for. Whether you have a general interest in the Mandarin language, you're traveling to China on holiday or on business, or you wish to become a more serious student, we offer a range of courses to suit your needs. We can even personalize courses by adapting material to target your specific requirements. If you're looking for a business-language course, we can introduce industry-specific words and phrases so that your lessons are customized to your particular business. Our tailored lesson plans narrow the language and cultural gap often experienced when carrying out business in China.

About Online Lessons:

If you've never taken an online lesson before, you won't be intimidated by our convenient interactive method. No matter how busy you are, you will always be able to find a class that suits you.

Sign on to your teacher's booking calendar and pick the date and time for your lesson. When that time comes, log into MandarinHour.com where your teacher will be waiting for you. During the lesson, you will interact with your teacher just like in a traditional classroom - only here it's one-to-one. You will not only see and talk with your teacher, but also be able to swap files and receive presentations interactively, read internet articles, and watch videos. All of your lessons will be taught by teachers who have been tested and certified to teach Chinese as a second language. 

Our courses include online self-testing exercises, supervised by your teacher. As soon as you're finished, your answers will be scored electronically. This way you will always be aware of your progress. Materials for self-study will be accessible at no extra charge. Your lesson material is available for you at all times with MandarinHour.com.

At MandarinHour.com, we are committed to making the learning process as convenient and clear as possible.
