Contrary to popular belief, learning Chinese is far easier than you might think. You’ll be amazed to find out how logical, straightforward and economical Chinese can be – no verb conjugation, no articles, and nearly no gender, or plurals. You’ll be able to open yourself up to a whole new world of senses, discovering a fascinating writing system, novel sounds and captivating concepts which will boost your brain cells and neural connections. So, challenge yourself to a fun brain workout and start learning Mandarin Chinese!

Keep Up to Date

We no longer produce an annual brochure. This is simply because things change so quickly—we're always adding new courses, workshops and events, and a printed brochure can’t keep up! Not printing the brochure also helps us save on costs, so we can spend more on improving the activities and facilities we offer.

But don’t worry—getting the latest information is still easy. You can find up-to-date details of all our courses, workshops and events on our website, and we continue to put notices on the boards inside the Settlement building, just as before.

If you’d like up to date information sent straight to you, please sign up for our regular Settlement Newsletter. It’s a friendly way to stay in the loop, and we’re here to help if you need a hand with anything.
