Hey everyone,

I'm looking at taking some advanced mandarin classes through a university program, but their price is kind of steep (~HK$160 per hour for 4 hours a week over 8 weeks = HK$5200!)

This is a group lesson too. I feel like I could get private lessons at a price like this.

Does anyone have any feedback on what a good mandarin school should cost? I'm not soliciting tutors or anything, just want to know what the going rate should be. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

yes, they do vary in price. I also seem to find that there's varying quality.
I'm going to take a punt at the YMCA - check their website
it'll cost $910 for 20 hours
My second choice (but the course doesn't start till 21 Nov) is
HKU Space It has a good reputation and uses the same text.
Cost is $4000 but for 40 hours.
I suggest you do a google search and also check out the ads on this site as well as other unis and HK sites.
