Yup, after 5 weeks of rushing down to 新加坡中华总商管理学院for evening classes twice a week, I have Finally completed Module 1 of Business Mandarin !为我的成就而骄傲!hehehe
On reflection, I really did enjoy myself tremendously (imagine, I did not even skip a single class and we are talking abt my most hatred subject in sch ! *gasp*) and it helped that the teacher and classmates were such a fun loving bunch so lessons flew by with all that fun and laughter in class.
I can't say that I am proficient to converse in Mandarin now but at the very least, I am a lot more confident of business terms (surprisingly I could actually recognise a lot of the terms though my writing sucks..hahaha) and have a deeper understanding of the Business Culture & Etiquette in China.
So here's the course content:
- Meet people and Introduction (Super tongue tight man )
- Meet client and Arrange entertainment ( 董,总,秘书长,省长etc baffles me)
- Basic Banquet Etiquette and Convention (My Fav!!敬词,劝酒)
- Schedule and Gift (送礼 is an art)
- Deal with the Differences, Choose the Topic carefully
- Recruitment
- Presentation and Application of Numbers (十百千万亿兆)
- Phone Call, E-mail and Official Document
Out of my class of 12 participants, almost 75% of them will probably continue with Module 2 which starts next week.
For me, though I would love to join them, I think I really need to revise and brush up on my Chinese first cos Module 2 requires a lot more writing and reading...= (
