Mandarin (Chinese) Classes

The Mandarin language has the largest number of native speakers in the world. There are diverse opportunities all around to use it in the U.S. and abroad.  Our classes are designed to help students get excited about learning the Mandarin language and Chinese culture as well as to lay a positive foundation for further language learning.


We are finishing up our current school year plans.  No plans are finalized yet for new Mandarin classes.  Please contact us to be put on our email list if you are interested in studying Mandarin.


 

Feng-and-KidsMandarin II

These fun and academically challenging level 2 Mandarin classes are taught by a native speaker for children in grades 3-8.  Classes will focus on helping students continue to improve their ability to communicate in Mandarin through listening, speaking, reading & writing.  Classes will use pinyin & simplified Chinese.  In order to help students make the most progress, students will have approximately one to three hours of homework/studying between classes.

  • Thursday evenings 6:30-8:00pm
  • September 2015 – May 2016

This class will use the Discovering Chinese II (Simplified) Homeschool Kit from Better Chinese.
