Our course aims to give you some basic communicative competence and confidence in Mandarin Chinese, including how to greet someone, how to convey courtesy and respect in a business environment, some basic business language and how to gain the most from your experience in China outside work, for example, ordering food in a restaurant, travelling around the city, and socializing. You will also gain a broad understanding of acceptable (and non-acceptable) business and social behaviour and an important insight into Chinese culture and traditions. You will also maintain and develop your skills in English which is likely to be the language of your business negotiations and practise and develop effective sales, presentation and negotiation techniques. Whilst it may not seem strictly necessary to learn Mandarin Chinese to do business in China, our experience in learning and teaching languages and cultures tells us that the positive benefits of learning even a few phrases with which to express courtesy or respect towards your potential business partners, may be far-reaching for you and your business and will certainly put you ahead of any competitors who have not taken the same trouble.
