Burmese language classes in Singapore

Burmese uses a circular script that looks daunting and turns out to be learnable in weeks. Classes start with the letters and sounds, then build the everyday phrases you need to greet, ask and answer. Teachers take the mystery out of reading and have you speaking from the first month.

Why Lingo

Trusted where the standard is highest.

Small groups of max. 8

Never more than eight students, so you speak in every lesson and your teacher hears every answer.

Official testing for MCCY & MFA officers

Lingo is an official test for MCCY and MFA officers. We take pride in the quality of our courses and assessments, and that expertise goes into every programme we deliver.

Who it is for

Learn Burmese for the reason you have.

Business professionals

Meetings, email and negotiation in the register colleagues really use, plus the Burmese for clients, suppliers and presentations.

Leisure travellers

Order, ask the way and hold a real conversation on your next trip, with the everyday Burmese that hotels, markets and taxis run on.

Language enthusiasts

Go past memorised phrases into the grammar behind them, so you can read, watch and follow the culture in Burmese rather than a translation.

How you will learn

A small class, a real conversation.

Max. 8

Small enough that you speak in every lesson.

Learn the language as it is really spoken.
