LEARNING Chinese is not just about picking up vocabulary but also about acquiring soft skills and being culturally sensitive, says trainer June Gu.

The coach, who has conducted Chinese workshops and courses for adults and corporate groups in the last 16 years, told The Business Times that her students include lawyers and in-house counsel whose learning objectives are specific to their field of work. She told BT that this group of her students are busy and do not have time for materials that are outside the scope of their work.
