Find the right course
You already learnt some Chinese before, but you do not know what course to choose?
These 2 points might help you to make the decision.
Time: if you have lots of time to prepare, you could start at a higher level. If you have a busy life and might occasionally miss a lesson, it is advisable to start a bit lower. If seats are available, you can switch to another level, during the course period. If applicable, you pay or get back the difference in course fee (books are non refundable). Do take into account that we do not actually offer every level in every season. Or perhaps we do, but the course days do not fit into your agenda. It is not possible to pause (see also the payment conditions).
