Techcode Workshop Series – WeChat, Language & Doing Business

Dear Techcode members, startup entrepreneurs & tech geeks, Starting in July we will change our weekly Chinese Learning Language Class and instead we will host a short series of workshops to give you insights in China’s culture, language and business. Time will be the same – Wednesday from 5pm to 6pm @ TechCode Berlin. We will start the series with an introduction to WeChat. Join us for a closer look at the Chinese messenger service, it’s origin and how to use it in daily life and for doing business in China. ***************************************************************************** Overview of our workshops: * Wednesday 05.07. – Introduction to WeChat* We will have a closer look at WeChat – the Chinese version, it’s origin and how to use it in daily life and for doing business. * Wednesday 12.07. – Introduction to Chinese Language* You always wanted to know how the Chinese language works?
