Choosing the Right Course and Level

Not sure where to start? KaiXin Language School offers courses across four proficiency tracks: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Speaking. Each track is divided into six levels, with each level consisting of approximately 8 instructional hours.

Students with no prior Mandarin experience begin in Beginner – Level 1 and progress through each level sequentially. Upon completing all six Beginner levels, students move into the Intermediate track, followed by Advanced. The Speaking track is designed for students who want to focus specifically on oral fluency and conversational confidence, and can be pursued after building a solid foundation in the earlier tracks.

Refer to the proficiency chart to find the track and level that best matches your current experience.

Course Level and Proficiency Table

Recommended learning hours indicate prior study needed to begin each level.
