Survival Chinese in Singapore (Online & Offline)
Looking for a basic Mandarin course in Singapore for some survival Chinese?
Our survival Chinese Courses are the perfect solution for getting a quick and heavy dose of concentrated Chinese, designed to help with your upcoming trip to China.
Survival Chinese is an introductory Mandarin course based in Singapore that allows you to step off the plane in China with the confidence to be understood in some of the most common everyday situations.
There’s no better place than Singapore to get started with a survival Chinese course, for a few reasons. English is spoken around Singapore, so you have the safety net of being able to converse with locals in two languages.
Secondly, Chinese is the most commonly spoken language in Singapore!
Approximately 35% of Singapore’s inhabitants are native Mandarin speakers, and there is an additional 12% speaking other Chinese dialects such as Hokkien-Taiwanese, Hainanese, Cantonese, Hakka, Fuzhou dialect, Pu-Xian Min and Shanghainese.
Singaporeans appreciate foreigners trying to communicate in their native language. You can get real-world experience in a Survival Chinese course without fear of judgment by locals.
Our Survival Chinese courses are customised to suit your learning needs, style and time restrictions.

Survival Course FAQ’s
Which Chinese books and study materials do you use?
With Chinese, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Before you get started, we assess your current level, needs and availability to create a course that’s just right for you.
For this reason, we don’t have a ‘standard’ curriculum for our survival Chinese courses.
To find out more about the personalised curriculum, we’ll make for you contact us and book in a FREE assessment.
Do you teach Chinese Characters?
Yes! Survival Chinese classes do focus more on spoken Chinese; however, there are some unavoidable situations where characters are needed in China.
Can I study survival Chinese with a friend?
Yes, of course!
Bring a friend, and each of you will receive a 20% discount on Survival Chinese course fees.
How long should I take a survival Chinese course?
A Survival Chinese course can be as short as one week. However, for a comprehensive approach that will have you being able to communicate and comprehend the everyday situation in China, we would recommend no less than four weeks of study.
What is the minimum duration of Chinese classes?
Lessons inside our school can be as short as one hour. Outside our school, we have a minimum of 1.5 hours classes. Our teachers can travel to you for FREE inside the circle line.
