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.

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.

The programme

Mandarin classes online

Live over video · Max. 8 students

Live Mandarin classes over video, taught by the same native teachers who teach at United House. Most online classes are hybrid, so you can join from home one week and come to the school the next without changing class or level. Groups stay small, and the lesson is a conversation rather than a recording.
