Open Doors to China

Begin to learn Mandarin, build your knowledge of Chinese culture and propose a new enterprise in China.

What is this challenge?

In this course, you’ll work through six lessons to learn some basic Mandarin: how to introduce and talk about yourself, your family and how you spend your time, as well as essential everyday topics such as food, drink and ordering in restaurants. In a second phase (coming soon), we will be adding new elements to introduce aspects of Chinese society and culture. You will hear from Scottish businesses operating in China about their experiences, and you will research and propose a new enterprise in China.
