Welcome To Chinesetown

Welcome to Chinesetown

Free comprehensive Chinese language classes

As soon as you accept a teaching position with us, you can start learning Chinese! You will be given access to our online learning platform, Chinesetown, where you can book your first class and keep learning throughout your stay with EF English First. Chinese classes are held for all levels from Survival to Intermediate.

Check the steps below to get started!

Find the right level

The difficulty of the lessons is increased by level in the following order: Survival – Beginner – Elementary – Intermediate.

If you are interested in learning Chinese and have no experience, I would suggest starting now with Survival or Beginner Level. Taking classes is a great way to understand the basics of Chinese, and to meet other EF teachers before you arrive in China.
