Let's speak Mandarin and have fun sharing! In Mandarin Show & Tell (中文展示与分享), young learners will build confidence in speaking Mandarin by sharing their favorite toys (玩具 wánjù), books (书 shū), or other personal items.  

This interactive, twice-a-week class encourages children to practice simple Mandarin phrases like “这是我的...” Zhè shì wǒ de… ("This is my...") while learning to express themselves and connect with their classmates.  

Each session focuses on helping children improve their listening and speaking skills in a supportive, immersive environment. With a focus on real-life communication, learners will feel more comfortable using Mandarin in everyday situations like saying “我喜欢...” Wǒ xǐhuān… ("I like…").
