Toronto Chinese Academy
General Mandarin Pin Yin Class
Pinyin is the core and foundation of correcting pronunciation. Correcting pronunciation requires strategy and the rich experience of a teacher; it is definitely not as simple as just listening more or practicing more, as some may think. Therefore, for those who need to correct their pronunciation, our course is the best choice.
It's not necessary to start with Pinyin for learners with a Cantonese background, but Pinyin is indeed a key medium that distinguishes Cantonese from Mandarin.
In our program, Pinyin classes primarily focus on Pinyin, but we adopt various methods tailored to individual students' specific situations to help them improve their Mandarin language proficiency.

You can choose one or a combination of three methods: 'attend classes in our office,' 'online classes,' or 'self-study on our website with professional guidance from our teachers.'
Currently, we have three offices available for students to choose for attending classes in the Greater Toronto Area.
For online teaching, we primarily use Skype.
Our introduced method of 'self-study on our website with professional guidance from our teachers' can meet various scholars' different requirements in terms of study time, learning progress, and finances.
