Kids Mandarin Chinese Online Live Semester Class

This class meets Thursdays at 3:30 eastern starting in January for 15 weeks.

This is a semester class for young students, from 7 years old to 12 years old, who are interested in Chinese culture and the Mandarin language.  We will study basic Mandarin language and culture in interactive classes with a well-experienced native Mandarin teacher.  You will be able to have basic conversation in Mandarin, and understand basic Chinese culture after this class.  You're also going to be able to join more advanced classes we offer after this course.  This class starts with pinyin and will also introduce basic characters. 

This course is the most foundational semester class we offer for this age group, from 7 to 12.  There will be a total of 4 your course, and this class is the first of the series.  It's highly recommended to take this class first before the other classes.  We're going to start from very beginner level vocabulary to making basic sentences.  We're going to work on understanding basic culture and work on Chinese style art with crafting.

This course is a very dynamic and interactive format.  It has a few different kinds of classes to guarantee a balanced Mandarin skill.  Most classes are vocabulary classes on this level, and each class has lots of interactive activities.  In the grammar class on this level, we study how to make a sentence correctly.  In the story class, we practice reading with a well-known folktale in China.  We will improve our understanding of Chinese culture with this story class.  Additionally, we offer a cultural experience via the culture class and a craft class.  There will be optional homework each week, and the teacher is going to give feedback if the learner submits homework.  Homework is going to be provided optionally, to suggest a further study for learners.  After this course, the learners will have a balanced skill in reading, listening, speaking, and writing in the Mandarin language, and have a general understanding of Chinese culture.
