Chinese Facts
In Singapore, the government promotes a "Speak Mandarin" campaign to boost the language's common use among its diverse population. The use of non-Mandarin dialects in the media is prohibited - in fact, dialects are discouraged in any context
Standard Mandarin (also known as Standard Chinese) is the official Chinese spoken language used by the People's Republic of China, Taiwan and Singapore
Unlike most western writing systems, the Chinese characters used in its writing must be learned prior to reading: the picture itself gives no clue as to the pronunciation of said symbol

These Chinese lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Chinese to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail Chinese, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.

These Chinese courses are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Chinese - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Chinese culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Chinese examination.

Crawley
A town in West Sussex with a population of just under 100,000, Crawley is an historic unparished borough. The town grew beyond expectations with the advent of the railway in the mid 19th century, its position between London and on the turnpike to the holiday resort of Brighton bringing it untold development. Recent development owes much to the nearby London Gatwick Airport - the busiest single-runway airport in the world. Crawley also offers modern shopping facilities and leisure centres, as well as historic churches and libraries.
