Relish every experience with us

I started learning Chinese with Dear Asia in 2021 and haven’t looked back since. It’s really helped me on the way to fulfilling my goal of learning a language. Every single lesson lights up the week – which is especially good because I do them on Monday! There’s a long way to go with Chinese but I’m looking forward to all of it.

Tim G.

Love their Chinese lessons. A really patient and cooperative teacher willing to guide students at any level. The classroom is very interactive and involves students reading, speaking and listening. The environment is very clean and safe—a great environment to learn a new language and be part of a new community.

Monique T.

The staff running the show are extremely efficient and responsive, very obviously listening to any concerns of the students and discussing options. In the year here, I have yet to meet a single student who was not happy to be there, and in many cases have become friends. Between the great classes and additional activities, it has been a joy to meet new people as well as learn a new language.

William A.

I have been learning in a small class held weekly online on Zoom. The teacher is brilliant and the classes are well structured with useful reference material. It’s fun and I am actually making progress! Thoroughly recommended.

Hugh F.

I have attended Dear Asia London for two terms and am very satisfied with the course quality. Lessons are well-paced and the textbook has a good range of exercises and activities to practice in and out of class.

Eric D.

I have been doing intensive weekend lessons with Dear Asia for the past 1.5 year and have been pleased with my progress. The teaching is excellent and lessons are well structured and focus on practical content. Learning resources are engaging and a variety of games are used to support with the development of listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
