Mandarin has four different tones including, flat, rising, falling then rising and falling; its grammar is relatively uncomplicated as there is no verb conjugation. As the world becomes increasingly globalised, Mandarin has become a popular language to learn.

Chinese language classes are offered by The University of Sheffield.
Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world. Our Chinese classes will help you to converse at beginner level, and we hope also to offer Intermediate Chinese classes in the near future, as the number of graduates from our Beginner Chinese classes increases.
This course is for learners who already have some knowledge of the language, familiar with the use of Pinyin and can recognise some characters, be able to do simple self introduction and have basic conversation about name, nationalities, age, profession, time, and weather.
Our Mandarin Chinese lessons will immerse you in the language, so you get used to its tonal nature and spend up to 80% of your class time speaking it in conversation with your Berlitz-certified native-fluent instructor. This exposure to the language will help you gain confidence speaking.
We believe that the four language skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing, are related to each other, even though they can be learn acquired at different paces.
