Despite offering a unique tailored course for every student, we enforce no commitments beyond each pre-paid monthly subscription. We strongly advise you to use the one month long free trial we offer to determine for yourself if our program suits both your learning style and personal schedule, before making any commitment.

Pricing
If you do decide to join us (and we hope you do!), we operate a simple subscription model with a flat monthly price; irrespective of your level. Unlike some other providers, we have no different subscription packages, with content or interactivity restrictions.
Just like in our academy, our online Mandarin communication syllabus is divided into 3 levels. These 3 levels together, called Communication Chinese Course, are equivalent to the academic assessment levels 1-4 of the HSK (the HSK is China’s official Mandarin proficiency exam series, divided into 6 levels).
Beyond our communication syllabus, aimed at developing practical communication skills, we offer two advanced options, Social Chinese (equivalent to HSK 5-6) and Business Chinese (highly customized for different industries using specific vocabulary). For our Business Chinese course, students can provide their own suggestions as to what they want to cover.
