Teachers and psychologists, language experts, believe that the best way to stimulate language learning is not to subject the learner to formalized and linear learning (e.g., rote learning), but to encourage imagination and learning through sensory exploration in order to be able to understand and interpret what is around us.  

This allows the brain to work and learn a second language in the most natural way possible, in the same way that we learned our mother tongue.   

With this high-level personalized program you will learn to communicate fluently in situations that require a superior knowledge of the language. It has an effective learning programme and native teachers who are experts in online teaching. 

You will have more than 300 pronunciation and phonetics activities in a personalized program that stands out for the quality of the individual classes, taught by university professors. 

 

The only intensive program 100% specifically designed to develop your speaking skills in order to obtain the Chinese Level B2.

It is proven that learning languages increases your Intelligence. Learning a foreign language strengthens the brain's neural networks”
