Why this course works

Credible. Effective. Accessible.

The three things every BFL course is built to be — and how Business Chinese delivers on each.

Credible

Built on the “New Silk Road to Business Chinese” curriculum and aligned to the internationally recognised Business Chinese Test (BCT) from Hanban and Peking University.

Effective

Every lesson is a real work scenario — meetings, phone calls, negotiation, trade — so you practise the exact Chinese you’ll use on the job, level by level.

Accessible

Start from zero, pay one flat semester fee, learn in small classes, and try a class free first. No per-lesson billing and no surprises.

Course overview

From your first words to the workplace

Business Chinese is BFL School’s practical Mandarin-for-work course in Phnom Penh, built on the “New Silk Road to Business Chinese” series — scenario-based lessons that teach the language of real business.

You start from zero — no Chinese needed. Step by step you build everyday Mandarin together with the vocabulary, etiquette, and communication skills used in meetings, trade, and the office, working steadily toward the Business Chinese Test (BCT).

Real business scenarios — meetings, negotiation, trade — so you learn the Chinese you’ll actually use at work.
