Learning a Language is a Journey
"I have many clients
in China!"
"My fiance's family all
speak Mandarin!"
"We're going to
Beijing this year!"
But It Can be
Frustrating
People waste time, money, and precious effort with little progress. Meanwhile, missed conversations, experiences, and career opportunities pass them by. They think they’re just not smart enough to learn another language.
We all
Start with Amazing aspirations
The dream, motivation, and commitment to speak Mandarin fluently are there, but too many people get lost looking for the ‘best’ or ‘easy’ way to learn Mandarin.
"I've been doing Duolingo
for more than a year..."
"I still can't put a
sentence together!"
"I feel like I'm just
wasting my time!"

Why our program works?
Structure
Expertise
Every instructor at CR Languages has native fluency in the language and they’ve learned other languages themselves (many have learned three or four!). We know what it’s like to be you, and we know the pathway to fluency. Plus, with average instructor tenures of 5+ years and in-house training, the instructors know how to teach a good class.
Accountability
The group setting means you won’t want to let your classmates down. You’ll correct your homework at the beginning of each lesson, and regular quizzes ensure you understand important topics.

Testimonials
Julieta's Story
“I was so afraid of making mistakes when I first moved to the US. I felt like I should be speaking perfect English. Can you imagine the looks on my students’ faces in my first classes, when I asked them to fill out a ‘sh**t’ and not ‘sheet’?
But the fear of making mistakes is what held me back for so long. In order to learn to speak, we must be comfortable making mistakes. And in order to feel comfortable making mistakes, we need to build the right environment in the classroom.”

FAQS
The minimum age is 16, and most students span a range from 25-65+.
Anyone who wishes to skip a level is required to take a placement test. For Mandarin, the placement test is a one-on-one video conference with an instructor. There is a $50 fee for the test. To schedule your placement test, please get in touch.
We use a different platform, but it’s similar to Zoom. You don’t need to download an app, it works in the browser.
Homework will be assigned each week and is a very important part of the learning process. In addition to homework, students should also study vocabulary and grammar topics on their own. Students should expect to dedicate 2-3 hours per week outside of class to homework and studying.
Yes! You’ll be connected with all of your classmates and teacher in a private chat group in our student portal, which encourages students to meet up outside of class to study and practice together. You’ll also have access to additional online resources. Plus, if you’re ever feeling stuck, our director, Julieta, has an open-door policy for students that need support.
Missing a class is usually not a big problem. You can check in with your classmates in the student portal for what pages were covered and what you need to do to get caught up. In some cases, you may be able to dial into a class remotely. (Get in touch with our office for more details on that option). If you miss two or more classes in a row or four classes total throughout the course, you will need to schedule a private makeup class (at an additional cost).
