Mandarín para jóvenes estudiantes: Diversión para principiantes: ¡Habla y juega! (De 6 a 9 años)

Dear learners, 

Welcome to our playful, beginner-friendly Mandarin class! In this ongoing meeting, we will sing, speak, move, and create as they learn Mandarin Chinese through fun, interactive themes like animals, colours, and food.
Each class helps your child speak simple Mandarin words and phrases with confidence. We use movement, songs, props, and drawing to make Mandarin fun and memorable. By the end of each session, your child will have something to show or say in Mandarin—perfect for sharing with family at home!
No prior knowledge required—just curiosity and a smile!
