Business with China & The Language Barrier
Gujarat to China - Is Business Mandarin the Missing Link?
Surat is the world's diamond polishing capital and India's largest synthetic textile hub. Ahmedabad anchors chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and diversified manufacturing. Both cities have extensive trade relationships with Chinese suppliers, buyers, and manufacturers - and the language barrier is costing Gujarat businesses real money.
Whether you are a textile exporter sourcing fabric from Guangdong, a diamond trader communicating with Chinese buyers, or a manufacturer dealing with Chinese machinery suppliers - Our Mandarin Chinese Foundation Level enables you to pronounce Chinese words correctly and form basic sentences to build lifelong relationships with your Chinese counterparts.
The Oriental Dialogue's live online classes are scheduled for late-evening and weekend batches - so you can learn without disrupting your day to day business activities.

What We Offer
What you get with The Oriental Dialogue
| What Learners Usually Worry About | How The Oriental Dialogue's Foundation Level Helps |
|---|---|
| “I don’t know if I will enjoy learning this language.” | ✓ Start with a practical 30-hour Foundation Level in Mandarin Chinese, Japanese or Korean before committing to a longer program. |
| “I don’t have full days to spend learning a language.” | ✓ Our batches are designed for students, professionals and busy learners who want to learn alongside college, work, business or family responsibilities. |
| “Certification courses feel too intense at the beginning.” | ✓We focus first on building love for the language, comfort with sounds, basic sentence formation, communication and cultural understanding. |
| “I want to learn the language, not just prepare for an exam.” | ✓ The course helps you understand, speak, read basics, make small sentences and communicate in simple real-life situations. |
| Will I be able to actually speak anything?” | ✓ Yes. You learn greetings, introductions, simple questions, everyday responses and basic conversations useful for travel, study and work. |
| “I may need the language for business or travel.” | ✓ We include basic business vocabulary related to greetings, buying, selling, money, travel, meetings and workplace interaction. |
| “I want to understand the culture too.” | ✓ Language is taught along with cultural context, etiquette, communication style and real-world usage in China, Japan or Korea. |
| “Will I get an International Certification like HSK, JLPT or TOPIK?” | ✓ The Foundation Level itself is not an international certification exam course. It is designed to build a strong base in Mandarin Chinese, Japanese or Korean first. After this level, our next levels guide you towards international certification exams such as HSK for Mandarin Chinese, JLPT for Japanese and TOPIK for Korean, with much better confidence and understanding. |
| “What if I miss a class?” | ✓ Our trainers support missed sessions by joining early before the next class or staying back after class to help you catch up. |
| “Will I get enough practice material?” | ✓ Students get drive access with class PPTs, textbook copies, extra practice material, audio files, video files, online flashcards and quizzes. |
| “What happens after Foundation Level?” | ✓ You can move to higher levels like Level 1 and Level 2 that prepare you for international certification exams such as HSK, JLPT or TOPIK with a much stronger base. |
| “Can language learning help my career?” | ✓ Since we conduct corporate trainings and are connected with HR circles, relevant language-related opportunities are shared in our internal student groups. |

Posted on Vikram Pendse Just completed Basic Chinese (Mandarin) Language course from The Oriental Dialogue. Many Thanks to entire TOD Team and especially Akshata Lǎoshī for her continuous guidance and encouragement. The training methodology was very professional. I look forward to next level. Thanks to all fellow Tóngxué for their support and we enjoyed learning together 🙏Posted on Ravina Gadadane I recently completed my Mandarin Beginner and HSK Level 1 courses through the online program at The Oriental Dialogue and the experience was absolutely fantastic. Even in a virtual setup, the quality of education and the personal connection felt as strong as being in a physical classroom. The online platform used was seamless, making it very easy to view presentations, practice character writing, and engage in real-time conversations. I owe a huge thank you to my two incredible teachers: Akshata Laoshi: She is a master at teaching Mandarin pronunciation and tones over a digital medium. Her attention to detail is amazing—she can pick up on subtle tonal mistakes even through a microphone and corrects them with such patience. She made the foundational Pinyin sessions feel very approachable and gave me the confidence to speak from day one. Sampadda Laoshi: Her energy in the online sessions is contagious! She kept the classes highly interactive and used great digital tools to keep us engaged. Her explanations of HSK 1 grammar and sentence structures were crystal clear and she always made sure that every student in the virtual "room" had a chance to participate and practice. Despite being an online course, the curriculum was rigorous and well-paced. The academy’s ability to provide high-quality language training remotely is impressive. If you are looking for a flexible yet highly professional way to learn Mandarin from anywhere, I highly recommend The Oriental Dialogue. Thank you, Akshata Laoshi and Sampadda Laoshi, for an incredible learning journey! 谢谢!Posted on Atharv Walunj Very innovative and interactive way of teaching... Absolutely worth itPosted on Raj Deshmukh I liked the beginners’ course because the instructor explained things in an easy-to-understand way and used exercises that helped my learning.Posted on angelika mavalankar I would like to share my experience with Oriental Dialogue. The teachers here are exceptionally good, very patient, and incredibly supportive. Their method of teaching is engaging, well-structured, and makes the learning process both enjoyable and effective. It truly helps you gain maximum knowledge and confidence in the Mandarin language. Overall, a wonderful institute to begin and grow your Mandarin journey with.Posted on Ruchika Sable I’m really happy with my online Japanese learning journey. **Sayali Sensei** deserves special appreciation for her excellent teaching. She goes beyond the textbook sharing cultural context, real-life examples, and helpful tips that make the lessons enjoyable and easy to follow. She patiently clarifies difficult concepts and ensures every student feels confident. I highly recommend these classes to anyone wanting to learn Japanese sincerely.Posted on Rohit Bhilave The teaching and efforts of the staff are excellent. They value our time and efforts. The class was nice and engaging for learning a new language, and the teaching staff is, too; they're excellent and understanding. I really loved the approach to new language learning from the basics, making students feel comfortable and gaining thorough knowledge of the concepts. Thank you, Payal ma'am, as an instructor, for your support and for helping us realize the value of learning a foreign language. I would also like to appreciate Riya ma'am and Aditi ma'am for their support and understanding.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 7 reviews
