Professional Business Chinese & General Chinese Courses

Business and General Chinese Courses from Babel

At Babel, we offer two tailored pathways to suit your professional and personal language learning goals.

Business Chinese focuses on developing the skills needed to communicate effectively in a professional environment. Learners practise how to take part in meetings, deliver presentations, negotiate contracts, write formal correspondence and build relationships with Mandarin-speaking colleagues or clients.

General Chinese, on the other hand, provides a strong foundation in everyday communication. This track helps learners gain fluency and confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing while also introducing useful cultural insights that make day-to-day interactions smoother and more authentic.

Both courses are designed to be practical, engaging and immediately applicable to real-world situations, whether that’s navigating business discussions or social exchanges.
