The Sandford Language Institute has been running courses in Chinese since 1989. Our tutors are native speakers and qualified teachers, teaching the communicative use of the language making it as relevant as possible to every day situations. All of the main language skills of Reading, Writing, Listening, speaking and Use of language (Grammar) are developed in classes. Enrolment for upcoming Septembet 2009 classes is now possible. Should you have any queries, please contact Shane Zerbe on 01 2601296 or shane.zerbe@sandfordlanguages.ie

Please note we have the current term (Summer) & upcoming Autumn Term timetabled below.If a class has started you would like to join, it is no problem. We will either arrange a catch up class or not charge you for missed weeks.

Chinese Level 1 (Autumn 09) Absolute beginners (for students who have no previous knowledge of the language)
Chinese Level 2 (Autumn 09) Advanced beginners (for beginners with a basic knowledge of all the above language skills) or for students who have completed the beginners course.
Chinese Level 3 (Autumn 09) I can understand and use simple structures fairly consistently, and can ask and respond to a wide range of simple questions. I have a reasonable idea of how the tense system works. I can express myself in familiar contexts, although I still make a quite a lot of mistakes.
