Chinese

欢迎大家来学中文！Welcome to the Chinese language programme.

Chinese is one of the six official languages of the United Nations.

We offer a variety of in-person and online courses, all tutor-led, intended for non-native Chinese speakers who want to acquire Chinese language skills to communicate within the multilingual and multicultural community of the United Nations.

Our general courses cover levels UN I and  UN II. We also offer specialized courses at different levels to develop both Chinese cultural competence and language proficiency for successful communication in various social and professional contexts.

For more details, refer to the Chinese Programme Overview.
