With the increase of Chinese in Kenya, both in construction, real estate and business, knowledge of this language has become the new thing. Contrary to popular belief, mandarin is not that hard, just need some good time investment and you will be good.
Now just for a clarification, the people from China are referred to as Chinese and the language, Mandarin. Many refer to the language as Chinese which really is not the case.
As the demand for the language rises steadily with time, so does the training centers which are offering the course. I’m going to list down several centers where Chinese language is offered so feel free to choose which one is best. The list is not by any hierarchy though some might be familiar.

- Confucius Institute – Kenyatta University (Recommended)
