The BBC recently highlighted the fact that Mandarin Chinese is now being taught in a number of schools around the country. The reason for this being that China has the fastest growing economy in the world and is now challenging America as our biggest trade and business partner. This will result in Chinese being spoken more and more around the world of business and anyone speaking the language will have an advantage over those who can’t speak it.

We have been offering Mandarin Chinese for many years as one of our language courses and we have a brand new Beginners Mandarin Chinese course starting on Thursday January 27th from 5.30pm at the Leicester Adult Education College on Wellington Street.

Anyone who wants to get one step ahead and learn Mandarin Chinese or would like more information on any of the languages taught across the Service can call into reception on Wellington Street, or ring 0116 2334343
