This class is for students who have no background or very little background in Chinese. There is no prior knowledge needed for this class. This is NOT a Chinese immersion class. Students will be able to sing some Chinese songs, write some Chinese characters, and can ask others what they like and dislike. Students are encouraged to complete a family tree project to share in class to apply what they have learned.  There are a variety of games we will play in class to help your child learn Chinese in an interactive and fun way. 

Please note that the listing for this class is twice a week for four weeks and a once-a-week class for eight weeks classes is available by request. Please let me know if you are interested in once a week schedule. Thank you!

If none of the scheduled times work for you, please take a look at my Flexible schedule class.

Please note we will not be playing Mario in class, but rather this class has a Mario theme to aid in learning Chinese.  I will provide worksheets, practice games, and review material for this class. Students will be learning Chinese words through music and games.

Students will be able to have a conversation on greetings, animals, insects, numbers, everyday conversation, activities, and family members. They can ask others what they like and dislike.  I will be teaching language patterns, making simple phrases, correcting their pronunciation and tones.
