We’re passionate about language learning. That’s why we’re constantly reviewing the latest trends and methodology in the field.
All academic staff from SN Mandarin participates in the research and development of our programs to ensure that the latest theories of language learning are considered and tested throughout our centers.
The following points are fundamental to our language learning system:
SN Mandarin
Learning System Latest Materials
We’re constantly reviewing the latest materials available for language
learning.
We provide you with what our
academic team and first-hand teaching experiences proved as being the very
best course books currently available for your level. We are also committed
to providing the latest technology inside
the classroom.
We utilize the most cutting edge
audio, video and web based resources.
We are proud of and committed to the cultural exchange that happens within our centers. As you ‘learn and live the language’ you will gain a greater understanding of the country that you are studying in. And as our students come from all over the world, our centers are not just places to learn languages, but are also places to meet people from other backgrounds and cultures. This is why our students find our program to be such an enriching experience.

Language Immersion We believe that the best way to learn a
language is to study in the country
where the language is spoken. We want
you to immerse yourself in the culture or
as we say, ‘live the language’.
This is the most efficient and satisfying
way to learn the language, and remains at
the core of SNM’s language learning
system.
SNM Levels
Upon arrival at any SNM school, we’ll give you a comprehensive language level test so we ensure you go straight into the right level for you. SNM levels have been closely matched against the Common European Framework, and HSK Chinese Level Test.
To move up to the next SNM level you need to master our specific ‘level objectives’, which you can demonstrate by test scores and class participation.
Quality Teachers
We understand that our students’ single most identifiable measure of program quality is the teacher. That’s why at SNM we only work with the very best teachers and full-timely; fully qualified with country specific teaching credentials, experienced and highly motivated. We have a systematic program of teacher development and performance evaluation.
