I highly recommend Mandarin Plus for their mandarin language course in Singapore. My English teaching career boomed when I decided to take Chinese language course for adults in Singapore.
Although it may seem absurd to take a mandarin language course when I am a former English major, but it actually has a lot of benefits. It was a lot easier to teach my Chinese students since I was able to understand them better. Mandarin language courses in Singapore teach the proper way of speaking Mandarin, but they also let us learn all about the cultures and traditions of the Chinese. I was able to make relatable real-life situation examples to my students so that it would be easier for them to understand the usage of each English term.
Although learning Chinese is not a requirement as an English teacher in international Mandarin-speaking countries such as Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau, it is still better to take mandarin language courses. Singapore is a good place to study Chinese because one of their main languages is Mandarin. And they can also speak English too, so a Chinese language course for adults would not be too difficult to learn since me and my instructor can still communicate well.
Employment Opportunities
It was a gamble when I decided to move in to Singapore to develop my English teaching career. It was difficult at first because most employers would require applicants need to have a second language. Although there was one company who took me in for an Online Teaching job, I figured it was not enough to help me sustain all my needs while living in a foreign country. I decided to invest in mandarin classes for adults in Singapore, and it was one of the best decisions in my life. After finishing the course, I was able to receive a lot of invites from different schools in Singapore. It came to the point when I had a hard time choosing which one should I accept. I even had teaching opportunities in Hong Kong and Macau because there were many Chinese people who wanted to learn English.
It was easier to learn Chinese in Singapore because I get to apply it to an actual Chinese cultural environment. It is faster to develop my newly-acquired Chinese skills because I was able to use it in real-life situations.
Convenience during Travels
The Mandarin language course I took in Singapore made me enjoy China when I visited the country for a conference. In my one-month stay there, I was able to immerse myself with their culture, and the Mandarin classes saved me from choking myself to death with the foods I am allergic with. I was able to barter with some of the vendors so I saved a lot of extra pocket money. And I even acquired new students which became my clients for my extra work in Online Teaching.
So, if you are looking for a quality Chinese language course for adults in Singapore, I highly recommend Mandarin. Their teaching style of not only making their students learn how to speak in Mandarin but also educate them about the Chinese culture is an effective way to study Mandarin.
