Your city. Our expertise. Live online.

When The Oriental Dialogue launched online classes, we made one decision that has never changed: every session is live, teacher-led, and interactive. A real class, in real time, with a teacher who corrects your pronunciation, answers your questions, and adapts to how you learn.

This is why our online students in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai progress at exactly the same pace as students sitting in our Baner classroom in Pune. Below, you will find pages tailored to the industries, opportunities, and professional context of each city - because what a software professional in Hyderabad needs from Korean is genuinely different from what a gems exporter in Jaipur needs from Mandarin.

We teach Mandarin Chinese, Japanese and Korean to learners from every city listed here, and all across India. The city-wise language highlights are only broad indicators of common industry demand and local relevance. Your actual requirement may differ depending on your career, business, studies, sourcing work or travel plans.

Frequently asked by learners across India

I am not in Pune. Can I still attend your classes?
Yes - and most of our students outside Pune have been with us for years. Our online classes run live on Google Meet or Zoom and are identical to our classroom programme in Baner. We have active students from Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurgaon, Ahmedabad, Indore, Jaipur, Vizag, and Coimbatore, as well as from Singapore, the UK, and the US. If you have a stable internet connection and a consistent schedule, city doesn't matter.
Which language should I learn - Mandarin, Japanese, or Korean?
The honest answer: it depends on your industry more than anything else. If you work in automotive in Chennai or Gurgaon, Japanese or Korean is the clearest career move. If you're in trade, exports, or pharma procurement with China, Mandarin is the answer. If you're in IT in Hyderabad or Bengaluru with Japanese or Korean clients, pick that language. If you're in it for culture - K-drama, C-Drama, Anime, or travel - pick whichever excites you more, because motivation is the only thing that sustains language learning. Attend our free demo to try a class before deciding.
Do I need any prior knowledge of East Asian languages to join?
None at all. Our Foundation courses start from absolute zero - no script knowledge, no vocabulary, no prior exposure required. Within the first few sessions, you will be reading Hiragana, understanding Hangeul, or speaking your first Mandarin tones. We have taught hundreds of complete beginners across India and the pattern is always the same: early apprehension, rapid early progress, and growing confidence by week four.
What are the timings for online batches?
We run weekday evening batches (typically 8 PM - 9:30 PM or 9 PM - 10 PM IST) and weekend batches on Saturday and Sunday mornings and afternoons. We schedule specifically around working professionals. Check the individual language pages for the most current batch schedules, as these are updated every month.
How long does it take to get to a useful level?
With two to three sessions per week and consistent personal practice, most working professionals reach a practically useful conversational level - able to handle meetings, emails, and everyday interactions - within 2 to 2.5 years. HSK 1 certification (the first recognised external milestone for Mandarin Chinese) is typically achievable within 8-10 months for Foundation + Level 1 students who study consistently. For Japanese and Korean it takes up to 1.5 years for JLPT N5 ot TOPIK I if only done on weekends. Speed varies by individual, but our structured curriculum is designed to maximise every hour of class time.
Will I get a certificate that means something professionally?
Yes. Every completed level earns you a certificate of completion and a marksheet from The Oriental Dialogue, issued after your level assessment. You also receive a digital verifiable badge that can be displayed directly on your LinkedIn profile - visible to employers, recruiters, and professional connections. This is available from Foundation level onwards, so you can start signalling your language learning professionally from your very first completed course. For stronger external credibility, we also prepare students for HSK (Mandarin), JLPT (Japanese), and TOPIK (Korean) - internationally recognised certification exams.
My company wants to train a team in Mandarin or Japanese. Can you help?
Yes - corporate training is a major part of what we do. We have trained teams from Johnson Controls, Bosch, Jabil, Yanfeng, Michelin, KPIT, Fujitsu, MAHLE, and Forvia, among others. All corporate programmes are fully customised: vocabulary, scheduling, pace, and delivery format (online or in-person) are built around your team's specific role and context. Contact us at aditi@theorientaldialogue.com or visit our corporate training page for details.
