Words from our principal

The idea of creating a place for the education and training of the Mandarin language in Costa Rica, arose in 2004; for the simple reason that I observed the situation of how Costa Ricans show a lot of curiosity and desire to know what is the Mandarin language and the Chinese culture.

Many see our culture with a lot of mystery, and the confusion generated by the existence of multiple and different Chinese dialects, what is the main language we use to communicate? Therefore, one of the reasons that motivated me to In 2005, starting with the journey of Mandarin education in Costa Rica until today, this has allowed us to prepare many professionals who have excelled in their work environment and has even led to personal growth in them.

Mandarin is now not just another language and in our days, it has become a language of the world, where the economy, politics, society, etc. revolve. together and hand in hand with Chinese culture, since both elements are part of our education so it is very necessary to know the language and its culture.

Here I want to suggest to all the people who start learning Mandarin, not to abandon what they start, because Mandarin is a language of constant practice and at the same time it is one of perseverance, without the above, one would have to start over from the beginning for lack of practice and study.

Without fear of being wrong, Mandarin is a different language but it is not impossible.
