Course Information

“Tā-chià-hào” means hello in Chinese.

Even though India and China have tense relations at times, China is still India’s second-largest trade partner in the world. Mandarin is one of the official languages of the United Nations and the primary language of communication for billions of people.

Chinese is one of the most widely spoken languages globally. However, a language barrier still exists when communicating with Chinese speakers and professionals. Learning Chinese can help bridge this gap and make communication smoother. Keeping this in mind, we are offering a basic Chinese language course through our platform.

Chinese is a unique and fascinating language, where the meaning of words changes based on tone. While reading and writing Chinese may seem difficult, speaking it is much easier. Some grammar rules are even simpler than English grammar.

This workshop will not only teach you Chinese but also provide an introduction to Chinese culture.
