Hi,
I am looking to take up Mandarin lessons. I don't mind if it is a class setting or private tutor, but i do want to start right away.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Sam

Chinese Chamber of Commerce also offer classes. You could check to see whether there's one to slot into straight away.

I also took part in the Mandarin classes at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce...

It was pretty good in that I learnt a fair bit however I believe this was only because I have people to practice with at home.

I found the classes themselves are not very engaging and is very much instructor reads.. you repeat format. The final exam was not oral and is instead written pinyin and the answers are basically given away.

If you are looking for a course where you will be challenged during the classes I wouldn't recommend it. I am currently looking at other options for taking my learning further for this reason
