Chinese language classes
Fall and Spring Semester
All group classes run 15 weeks for both fall and spring semesters. Each group class is limited to 4-6 students. The focus of beginner classes is pronunciation and listening. Students will learn to read and write the Mandarin Phonetic Symbols (bpmf), recite rhymes, songs, and simple conversational phrases. The focus of intermediate class is conversation and reading/writing Chinese characters. You can access our complete beginner curriculum.
Each student (under the age of 12) can have an older sibling (older than 15), parent, or grandparent to attend the adult class with no extra charge. For Mommy 'n' Me class, there must be an adult/older teenager to accompany the toddler. We also have individual classes to meet your individual learning needs.
