In this ongoing class, students will learn how to talk with others in Chinese and apply their Chinese skills to real life communication with a Mandarin Chinese native speaker. Each class, students will learn high frequent expressions and vocabularies in Chinese with Mrs. Moony. Then they need to practice what they have learned with each other in Chinese. Students are encouraged to talk or share more if they would like to in our show & tell part. As an inclusive class, each learner could follow their own path, they will be always engaged to challenge themselves. Finally, we will play online game together on Blooket.com (Blooket is a third party platform that is used to play review games, NO personal information or account needed) to review our class, and the game link will be shared during the class. This class will be taught in English. It will be easier if a student feels comfortable to read Pinyin, but that's not mandatary. They will learn some in the class for sure. Students are encouraged to speak Mandarin Chinese as much as they could or would like to. It will be an engaging mandarin group learning environment, and it’s also a good opportunity to make friends and practice mandarin in an age-liked group.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I had been living in Beijing, one of the most historic city in China for more than 30 years, and grew up in Hutong and kept all the customs generation by generation. I taught mandarin in Oklahoma, US for 2 years and voluntarily provided Chinese culture sharing club in the local public elementary school for 3 years. I LOVE Chinese culture and this unique language. My dream is to support more and more students to know Chinese culture and Mandarin Chinese. I'm passionate to work with children on Chinese cultural learning and Mandarin teaching, because it's not only full of fun for me, but also meaningful for me.
