Learn to speak Mandarin in Barnoldswick!

School governor Pat George said: “We are aware many businesses are now making contact with China and we will be offering a series of seven free taster sessions.”

The programme of study will include sessions conducted by specialist Mandarin tutors, access to on-line tutorials and opportunities to practise conversation.

Topics covered include greetings, introductions, ordering food and using public transport.

The first session is on February 17th from 3-15 p.m. to 4-15 p.m.

Staff at the Leeds Confucius Academy would also be willing to provide additional sessions following the taster course at a reasonable cost for adults, which could be held at the school or in work places.
