Normally if you don’t have a target, we suggest you aim to pass the HSK 4. HSK 1 and HSK 2 are based on survival Chinese; HSK 3 and HSK 4 are focused on topics related to work, life and study; HSK 5 and HSK 6 are geared towards news, movies and more work-related topics. Most Chinese universities and companies require foreign students and staff to get at least HSK 4.

Don’t worry, our teachers will use minimal English or other languages (if needed) and rely on pictures, videos, signs, and gestures to help you understand them. As your Chinese improves, the use of English or other languages will decrease, gradually providing you with an immersive learning experience.
