我们讨论一下下一步。
Let's discuss the next step.
A real teacher. A real conversation. Every time.
Language is more than knowing the right words. It is listening, understanding context, and finding the confidence to respond. That happens through practice with another person.

- Feedback on pronunciation, tone, and meaning
- Chinese business culture alongside the language
Technology supports the learning. People make the difference.

What is Karkade Business?
Karkade Business provides online Mandarin Chinese training for companies and their teams. Programs combine native teachers, one-to-one or group lessons, industry-specific learning, assessments, and manager reports.
Can complete beginners join?
Yes. We build the plan around each learner's starting level. Beginners work on pronunciation, tones, and useful everyday language before moving towards more specialised workplace conversations.
Can we combine individual and group classes?
Yes. We can plan a mix of one-to-one lessons and group classes according to your team's goals, roles, and availability. We agree on the format with you before the program begins.
How do you measure progress?
We start with an assessment and agreed learning goals, then use teacher feedback and progress reviews to track development. Manager reports can cover participation and skill development; the scope and frequency are agreed as part of your program.
Do you use AI tutors or AI conversation practice?
No. Live teaching and conversation practice are led by people. Technology supports the learning experience, but it does not replace the teacher or the human interaction at the heart of our approach.
Can lessons fit Saudi working hours?
We plan lesson times around your team's availability and teacher schedules, including the needs of teams based in Saudi Arabia. Share your preferred times during the consultation so we can discuss a suitable arrangement.
How much does corporate Mandarin training cost?
Pricing depends on the number of learners, lesson format, frequency, and the level of customisation. Tell us about your team and we will discuss a tailored proposal. There is no commitment when you send an enquiry.
