WHY LEARN SHANGHAINESE ?

FAMILY COMMUNICATION

For those with family members who speak Shanghainese as their primary language, learning Shanghainese dialect can facilitate better communication and strengthen family bonds.

BUSINESS AND TRAVEL

Shanghai is one of China’s largest cities and a major hub for business, trade, and tourism. Individuals working or traveling in Shanghai may find it advantageous to learn some Shanghainese to facilitate interactions with local residents, particularly in informal settings or neighborhoods where Mandarin proficiency may be limited.

After a week, I can already hold a basic speech! There is a curriculum, so you are never lost and the path is set for you. The fees are very competitive, especially if you buy a large amount of credits. I am planning studying online for 6 months, then going to China for a month.
I have been studying with Yoyo Chinese for several months, and although my Chinese has improved, my speaking seemed stuck. With Flexi Classes I get to speak more, learn at a faster pace, and compliment my Yoyo classes. Moreover, all of my teachers have been really kind and patient.
The classes were great well structured pdf provided for guided reading and also the group classes offer flexibility where the students can practice among themselves and even the teacher in the target language

ASKED QUESTIONS

Do many people still speak Shanghainese?

It’s estimated around 20% of the population of Shanghai still speak Shanghainese. The dialect is indeed a dying one, but that is part of the reason why we want to teach it, because we care. Shanghainese can open up more doors than one might think. Because of this our Shanghainese Lessons are actually really popular especially with students who have some form of affiliation to Shanghai.

Do any of your team speak Shanghainese?

Our native Shanghai teachers and our curriculum developers of course!

Can I cancel a class if I am busy?

You can indeed cancel and re-book your Shanghainese Classes at no extra cost, with just a few clicks of a button. You need to give us 72 hours notice to receive all your credits back. Cancellations made less than 72 hours in advance are not refunded.
