Feeling stuck in an “expat bubble”?

Living in Singapore, but still feeling like an outsider?

Missing out on casual chats at work or small talk at the hawker because you don’t speak Mandarin?

It’s easy to feel left out when you have to rely on others to translate.

You don’t have to spend another day feeling disconnected.

It’s time to break free from language barriers.

Here’s why Hundreds of Students Prefer Learning Chinese with Us

Super Beginner-Friendly–No Mandarin Experience Needed

Our classes are designed for complete beginners, and you'll be learning along side others just like you.

No judgment, no pressure—just a fun, relaxed space to grow your skills together.

Plus, with small classes (6 or fewer), you’ll get all the attention and practice you need!

Whether you're learning for work, daily life, or simply to connect with others, we’ve got you covered.

Focus on Practical Mandarin for Everyday Conversations

Forget about complicated Chinese characters. We focus on sounding out using alphabets and four basic tones (Hanyu Pinyin) to help you get comfortable with pronunciation.

You'll quickly pick up on everyday phrases and stop missing out on micro-interactions.

Like initiating small talk with the aunties and uncles at your favourite hawker. Or following along when there's a mix of Chinese in conversations.

We're fluent in both English and Chinese. We use easy-to-understand comparisons to help you get the hang of tricky pronunciation or tones.

With over 10 years of teaching experience, they’ve guided thousands of beginners just like you, so you're in good hands.

And as fellow expats, we also know what it’s like to start from scratch—so we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Flexible Scheduling That Works for Your Busy Life

We know your time is precious.

That's why we offer flexible class schedules, make-up classes, and class recordings. You'll never miss out, even if life gets in the way.

And if after your first class, you feel it’s not the right fit? No worries, there’s no extra cost to switching levels.

FAQ

What is the class size like?

Every class will have 3-6 students. The class size is kept small so each student gets tons of one-to-one attention and interaction with the class.

We also love to customise and set-up impromptu role-play sessions based on real scenarios each of our students face in their day-to-day.

Can I consult the teacher outside of class?

Definitely. Many of our students and teachers form strong bonds together as a group beyond the classroom. If you have any questions, just drop a message in your WhatsApp group chat or you can ping the teachers directly.

What are your fees like?

The conversational Chinese courses go for $510 for 10 classes. There’s an added $40fee for the class material and registration is free.

We also allow a free one-time switch to a different level if you find the first lesson a mismatch for your Chinese level.

What if I can’t make it for classes?

No problem at all. We offer recordings and make-up lessons for any classes you miss. For teachers and students who are familiar with one another, it’s even possible to change the class timing if your group can come to an agreement.

It’s one of the reasons why students love working with us.

Why shouldn’t I learn this on my own? There are a lot of free resources online.

Interacting with others in Chinese is the best way to pick up the language. By practicing correct pronunciation and exposing yourself to different vocabulary.

Additionally, a slightly different pronunciation or tone can drastically change the meaning of a sentence in Chinese, it’s important to get feedback. That way you’ll be confident knowing that your spoken Chinese is native-speaker approved!
