Training courses for companies
In recent years, China has experienced rapid economic and social growth, positioning itself as a global leader. Understanding the country’s culture and language opens many business opportunities and access to the world’s largest market. In the future, having employees able to operate both in the West and East may be crucial for the survival of many companies in an increasingly globalized and competitive world.
Mandarin, in terms of phonetics, language structure and grammar, is very different from Western languages, and learning it poses a great challenge for adults without proper training professionals.
Features of our company courses
Our corporate training courses are designed according to the specific needs of each company, regardless of its sector. Our goal is for students not only to be able to operate in work and business environments with Chinese partners or clients, but also to understand the business philosophy of the Asian giant, thus maximizing the chances of success in commercial relations.
- Flexibility:
We offer flexible schedules adapted to our clients’ availability.
In addition, training can take place at the company’s premises or at our office on Radas 51 street, in the Poble Sec neighborhood of Barcelona. Our facilities provide a comfortable and relaxed environment so students can feel at ease and maximize learning.
- Tailor-made teaching materials adapted to clients’ needs:
Our teaching materials are custom-made and designed especially for our clients to suit their specific needs.
We currently have study programs for sales professionals, doctors, hospitality, business relations, among many others.
- Specialized in teaching Chinese:
Unlike most corporate training offerings, we specialize in China and its language. There are no intermediaries — the person evaluating your specific needs is the same one who designs the study program and teaching materials.
Our Director of Studies is a native Chinese speaker with extensive teaching experience and a Master’s degree in teaching Chinese to non-native speakers. She will personally discuss and evaluate the specific needs of students and the company, ensuring the highest effectiveness of the study program she designs.

All our teachers are native speakers, fully proficient in Mandarin (China’s official dialect) and highly experienced in corporate Chinese training across various sectors.

Chinese courses for schools
Founded in 2015, we are an initiative specialized in teaching Chinese language and culture in Barcelona. Our main goal is to provide high-quality, personalized training at an affordable price.
At our center, we focus on offering small group classes adapted to each student’s stage of development to maximize learning and maintain their interest in lessons.
We have a Director of Studies with extensive experience teaching Mandarin Chinese to non-native speakers, having taught at prestigious universities in Beijing (China) and Quito (Ecuador), as well as in educational institutions in Spain.
Our Director of Studies personally evaluates each school’s needs, designs specific study programs, and supervises the courses.
Our learning philosophy
In our classes, children are the focus and the teacher acts as a guide and collaborator. A relationship of equality and friendship is established with the children, allowing them to actively participate in the process of discovering, perceiving, and understanding the Chinese language.
At EsChina Space, we believe in the importance of a personalized approach for each student and pride ourselves on providing quality education focused on children’s holistic development.
Chinese teaching system for children
Young children’s learning speed is incredible. At the same time, they forget what they learn just as quickly.
Based on this idea, the EsChina Space teaching system is cyclical. We have selected 12 topics from daily life and the school environment, which are repeated over the 3 years of the system. The content of each topic becomes more in-depth as the child grows. At the same time, the cultural curriculum allows children not only to master Chinese, but also to understand the culture behind the language.
Teaching method for children
Educate and entertain, with children as the center of the class and teachers as directors, guiding them through the process of independent perception and exploration of the language.
Class activities are carried out through each lesson in the form of games, children’s songs, dances, videos, music, crafts, and painting.
Objectives of our study program
Considering children’s natural language acquisition process, they will first learn words, then phrases, and finally sentences. This way, children build new knowledge on top of what they previously learned, achieving the goal of learning the language naturally.
A second goal is to prepare children to take the YCT (Youth Chinese Test), the official program of the Chinese government to obtain language proficiency certificates.
Rates and services included in the courses
Courses are billed per hour starting from €50 / hour.
Additional included services:
- Introductory Chinese language workshop for parents: A workshop led by the Director of Studies to introduce basic Chinese language concepts so parents can help their children with studying and practicing the language.
