About Dublin School of Mandarin Chinese

都柏林中文學校 Dublin School of Mandarin Chinese was founded in 2009 and has been approved as an Overseas Compatriot Education Organisation in Taiwan since 2011.

​

We welcome students from both primary and secondary schools who are interested in Chinese studies, learning Mandarin (AKA Chinese 國語, Huayu 華語, Hanyu 漢語, Zhongwen 中文, Putonghua 普通話), Chinese arts & crafts and Culture.  Our school is delighted to announce the support of the Overseas Community Affair Council, Taiwan for their sponsorship of our textbooks and workbooks.

​

Our school has carefully selected the best text books published by Sky Mandarin and approved by both of Dept of Education and the Overseas Community Affairs Council in Taiwan.  The advantage of this series of books is that they include both of Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters as well as two phonetic systems - zhu yin and pinyin to help our young learners to master the language.  I've always wished my children could learn both systems and these books turn my dream into reality!  We also use Speak Mandarin in 1000 words, Speak Mandarin in 500 words, Hello HuaYu, Go Chinese and our Library to cater for different ages/classes.

In 2022, DSMC and the OCAC in Taiwan jointly established the Taiwan Centre for Mandarin Learning in Ireland.  TCML in Ireland offers good craic and engaging learning and teaching of Mandarin language and culture to adults.
