Learn Chinese Online
CLI’s online Chinese lessons bring the classroom directly to you, allowing you the flexibility to seamlessly continue your school and work commitments while learning Chinese.
CLI was founded in 2009 by American brothers Robert and Bradford Fried. Drawing on a combined 20 years of experience in China, they created an educational model that provides students a unique path to learning Chinese and understanding the PRC through a high degree of customization and complete immersion within a Chinese language environment. Based in the picturesque city of Guilin, CLI delivers a highly effective intensive Mandarin Immersion Program, online one-on-one lessons, and travel seminars for students of all Chinese levels and backgrounds.
