Why learn the Chinese language
International
Mandarin Chinese is the most spoken language in the world with 1.35 billion speakers, mostly from China. Obviously this is conditioned by Chinese demographics, but for a large part of the East, Mandarin represents a "lingua franca" so much so that it is also spoken in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia and Taiwan.
Cultural growth
China has an ancient history and tradition. It is one of the first civilizations in the world and discovering its past is truly very interesting. Studying Mandarin not only allows you to acquire communication skills, but also to get to know the most important Chinese characters, to appreciate cinema and music, traditions and customs. In short, with language we also immerse ourselves in culture.
Work
China is the largest economic power in the world so knowing Chinese can become a valuable tool for those looking for work. Since China has become a major player in the world economy, the demand for professionals with Chinese language experience and skills has increased dramatically. A good level of Chinese will offer excellent opportunities and allow you to capture the attention of potential employers.
Artistic
Chinese calligraphy is an art. With more than 5000 years of history, Chinese characters have been regarded as a form of art. Chinese is very difficult to learn but not impossible. We could compare it to a puzzle: each piece is unique, but is in close contact with the others. Studying it will be a good exercise for your brain.

An individual course can undoubtedly be the path with maximum yield if approached with seriousness and consistency, combined with flexibility.
Semi-individual Chinese courses

It usually allows you to organize courses for 2-3 people (friends or colleagues) of the same level, allowing you to meet the needs of those who cannot participate in group courses because they cannot take courses on a fixed weekly basis (many workers are shift workers and therefore cannot make a fixed commitment).
Group Chinese courses
Our Chinese group courses are taught by native speaking teachers and consist of a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 10 people. Our courses follow the levels and prepare you for the most diverse levels (FROM A0 to levels A1, A2, B1, B2 and C1). Group courses begin several times during the academic year. Usually we discuss the most suitable times and days, the duration of the course and the objectives to be achieved. A group journey can certainly be stimulating in comparison and interaction with classmates. Our school usually offers packages of different lengths (annual, half-yearly or quarterly).
Online Chinese courses
Our online Chinese courses with our native speaking teachers are an excellent solution especially for those who often travel for work and therefore cannot guarantee continuity of presence, for those who find themselves in a city other than Milan, but want to follow our courses, all of which will allow you to learn the language wherever you are: at home, in the office, on holiday...

Mi sono rivolta per preparare un esame universitario di Lingua Francese che non riuscivo a superare nonostante i numerosi tentativi. Grazie a Maria, alle ore di lezione a tu per tu con lei e al programma di ripasso e approfondimento studiato ad hoc per me sono riuscita a sostenere l'esame con tranquillità, ottenendo anche un ottimo voto! Per questo consiglio al 100%, a chiunque stia avendo difficoltà con degli esami di lingua.

Sono venuto a conoscenza di questa scuola tramite un mio amico, che frequenta con me l'università Cattolica, effettivamente è posizionata in modo strategico: comodissima, si trova in via Carducci (in braccio all'università) quindi non perdevo tempo per lo spostamenti e prendere mezzi. Ho usufruito di una scontistica in orario diurno dedicata a studenti universitari. La struttura è semplice e minimale, gli insegnanti madrelingua e preparati.. E soprattutto la cosa più importante per me era passare gli esami di lingua Francese, cosa che ho fatto e quindi penso che un feedback positivo sia meritato.

My experience with the French language course is extremely positive. They provide a wide range of courses and can cater to practically every need, be it beginners, intensive personal classes or group courses. The organization is really good, the mood is friendly and the location is nice and convenient. The teachers are good (I had occasion to try 3 different French language teachers) and they work well, my overall sensation is of making good progress language-wise in a friendly atmosphere.

Scuola di lingue che offre dei pacchetti molto vantaggiosi. Personalmente ho seguito lezioni di giapponese sia online che in presenza e mi sono trovata benissimo! Lo consiglio non solo per la validità dei corsi proposti e per la preparazione e gentilezza degli insegnanti,ma anche perché grazie alla sua ubicazione è davvero semplice da raggiungere. Mi rivolgerò sicuramente di nuovo a loro

Consiglieri a tutti un corso di lingue con Interdialog, io personalmente ho svolto delle lezioni individuali di tedesco con l’insegnante ed è stata una fantastica esperienza, sono stata seguita in modo ottimale, con un percorso personalizzato basato sulle mie esigenze, che mi ha sicuramente aiutata ad incrementare la conoscenza della lingua, anche in modo divertente, la scuola poi si dimostra sempre molto flessibile e pronta a venire incontro a qualsiasi esigenza per quanto riguarda gli orari e l’organizzazione del calendario delle lezioni, spero di poter tornare presto a svolgere nuove lezioni!

Professionali e disponibili! Ho fatto un corso di francese con la professoressa madrelingua di francese e una di inglese, entrambe molto preparate. Mi hanno permesso di ottenere le certificazioni che cercavo al primo tentativo. Consiglierei sempre Interdialog in quanto a efficienza e praticità!

Ho concluso un corso di 80 ore di inglese e mi sono trovata benissimo. La professoressa che mi è stata assegnata era molto preparata e gentile e ha chiarito i miei dubbi riguardo ad alcune strutture grammaticali, oltre ad aiutarmi ad incrementare il mio livello di conoscenza della lingua. Quando avrò nuovamente bisogno di migliorare in una lingua straniera (o di impararla da zero) non esiterò a rivolgermi nuovamente a questa scuola.

La scuola si trova in un'ottima posizione, a pochi passi da Cadorna. Ho svolto un corso individuale di inglese di 20 ore con una professoressa madrelingua molto gentile e preparata! Aspetti positivi: possibilità di personalizzare i corsi in base alle proprie esigenze e personale molto disponibile. Consiglio vivamente questa scuola per chi volesse migliorare il proprio livello nelle lingue. Se dovessi aver ancora bisogno, mi riscriverò sicuramente.
