The Beginner Mandarin Chinese series is our core curriculum. We start by providing our students with a solid foundation in pronunciation and tones, before building strength in verbal communication through vocabulary, dialogues and sentence structures.
Our curriculum places a strong emphasis is on verbal communication - listening and speaking. We want our students to be able to apply what they learn in class to real life situations. Students initially learn from the textbook, but use the majority of time in class speaking and being corrected by their instructor.
