about us
Manhattan Mandarin Corporate has worked with numerous corporates, assisting them through their business meetings, collaborations, and functions. As more and more employees are working remotely and on a hybrid schedule, it is more important than ever to maintain team cohesion and for employees to feel a connection to their corporate offices. And what better way to help employees feel like part of a community than by putting them and their families in classes together?
Our beginner and intermediate group classes can be conducted in-person at our 59th Street Studio or remotely over Zoom and can be made available for both adults and for families.

Business program
Manhattan Mandarin's In-Office business classes are designed for you and your team to quickly and efficiently gain an understanding of the language, allowing you to travel comfortably in China and impress your Chinese counterparts.
This 20 hours course will cover greetings, eating, drinking, etiquette, travel, and navigation. It will also build a rock solid foundation for you to continue learning Mandarin on your own or through Manhattan Mandarin by covering most of the grammar patterns necessary for intermediate/advanced Mandarin.
Classes will only be taught by Manhattan Mandarin tutors who also have experience working in China. Properly understanding a language requires knowledge of the culture to which it is bound; we make sure to focus much of the course on helping you gain a deeper understanding of Chinese culture.
