Online Classes

Terrapane offers online training classes that are designed to introduce students to the Mandarin Chinese language and Chinese culture. While more extensive training classes may be scheduled online, these introductory online classes are just five hours long (one hour of class per day) and perfect for those who wish to get started learning Chinese or preparing for a business trip to China.

Chinese Language

This class is designed to give students a very basic introduction to the Mandarin Chinese language, including the four tones used as a part of speech. Students will get a flavor for the Chinese language, but will also learn some useful words and phrases, such as introductions and pleasantries, how to ask for help, how to get directions, how to ask for the restroom, and how to give instructions to a taxi driver. Students are encouraged to ask questions to make this a fun and productive class.

This class is taught by a native Mandarin Chinese speaker residing in the United States. Classes are held the first full week of each month at 10:30PM ET / 7:30PM PT.

The cost of this class is only $50, which includes 5 one hour sessions. To enroll, submit a payment via the "Enroll" button below. Within 48 hours, we will contact you to schedule your class and provide additional instructions. Enrollment requests must be received within 7 calendar days of the first day of class.

 

Intro to China

This class is designed to give students an introduction to China and is useful for people who plan to visit or live in China, either as a tourist or on business. Students will learn a little about the different cultures and languages in China, tipping practices, shopping (including how to haggle), eating, transportation options, and some "do's and don'ts" while staying in China. Oh, and no class would be complete without covering some of the things that might surprise you about visiting or living in China!

Technical Requirements

All of our online classes are taught using web-based collaboration software for viewing presentation material and a traditional audio conference bridge for voice communication. Students will need a PC or Mac with a current web browser in order to join the web-based collaboration session. Students will be responsible for long-distance toll charges (if applicable) when calling into the audio bridge. At least 5 days prior to the first day of class, all students will be provided with the information necessary to join the audio and web collaboration sessions.
