Class Experience

This is a small group ongoing class and you can join in as we will continue to cover the basics in a rotating fashion. This is a great way to get exposure and begin to understand Mandarin taught by a Native speaker. We will make it fun with songs, games and discussion. If you wish to continue learning we offer intermediate classes and private tutoring as well. 
Our instructors are Native Chinese and Mandarin speakers with decades of teaching experience.
