Mandarin Chinese Fun Club-Novice Level

Mrs. Moony would like to bring you a fun and engaged way to learn Mandarin Chinese

Each class, students can learn new vocabularies, both Pinyin and Chinese characters with a native Chinese speaker (that’s me!). Students are encouraged to learn with their own pace. They will learn not only speaking & listening, but also reading and writing. After going through new vocabularies and expressions about the topic, we’ll play 1-3 games together to review. We may learn rhythm or sing a song or tongue twist in Chinese together. 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). 

This class will be taught in English, but 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. Believe me, students will gain not only language skills in this class. I’d like to nurture their true love for Mandarin Chinese and Chinese culture.
