Learn a Language: Mandarin

23rd May to 17th June
A month-long programme allowing you to master the basics of the Mandarin language and explore Mandarin speaking cultures.

Manchester Met is proud to be home to a rich and diverse department of Languages that over the past decade, has honed an expertise in supporting students across the university to master the basics of a range of world languages. The ‘Uniwide’ language programme is now available to you as a short, intensive Rise activity. 

Language lessons are very different from traditional lectures and seminars and involve lots of communicative activities. Alongside a basic competence in your chosen language, the experience will support your interpersonal skills and develop you confidence. 

To be eligible, you must:

  • Commit to the entire 4-week programme.
  • Attend 2 hour classes over 4-weeks from 23rd May until 15th June 2022 (Excluding Friday 3rd June)

 

Please note, that this activity is available by expression of interest. When you book a ‘ticket’ you will be asked to give us a very brief account of why you would like to take part. We will try to make as many places available as possible, but if it is very popular we will need to prioritise based on these expressions of interest. Please note we can only accept expressions of interest provided through this form; emails may not be considered.

In A Nutshell...

  • Learn... the basics of the language and its surrounding cultures

  • Commit... to engage on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
