Choose Your Language and Dive In

We offer immersive beginner-friendly courses in Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese and Korean languages:

Chinese (Mandarin):

Our Chinese program is perfect for businessmen, professionals, travellers, students and those wanting practical conversational skills fast. Starting with a 30-hour Beginner Level designed to help you form your own sentences quickly, you can then progress through Levels 1 and 2 (60 hours each), which align with HSK 1 and HSK 2 exams. Beyond that, Level 3 and higher focuses on advanced proficiency. Even beginners can gain useful speaking skills early on, making this ideal if you want to start communicating instantly. Students are also prepared to take the TOCFL exam.

Japanese:

Most students come to us aiming to clear the JLPT N5, the foundational Japanese proficiency test. Our extensive 150-hour N5 course is recognized as one of the best in the country. Starting with an easy-to-follow book, you’ll engage in interactive class conversations right away. Then we guide you through grammar, vocabulary, and exam practice to solidify your skills and boost confidence.

Korean:

For Korean learners, we focus on preparing you for the internationally recognized TOPIK exams. Beginners + Level 1 + Level 2 complete levels that cover TOPIK 1 (Level 1 & 2), followed by advanced courses for TOPIK 2 (Levels 3 to 6). We emphasize correct pronunciation and speaking from the start, so you fall in love with the language while mastering the essentials.

How We Teach: Speaking First, Culture Always

At The Oriental Dialogue, we believe the best way to learn is by speaking first. Our interactive online classes encourage participation and build your confidence in using the language daily. Along with language skills, we weave in cultural insights to deepen your understanding and appreciation.

Miss a class? No worries. Every student gets access to Google Drive materials including textbooks (PDFs) and PPT slides used in sessions. You can catch up easily and keep learning on your own or with classmates in your WhatsApp group.

Assessments and Certification

We support your progress through regular online quizzes, plus mid and final assessments testing speaking, listening, and written abilities. After reviewing your performance, we provide detailed feedback so you keep improving.

Upon course completion, you’ll receive a certificate and a digital badge, perfect for showcasing your achievement on LinkedIn or other professional profiles.
