MY FIRST MANDARIN CLASS - Beginner & Improver Levels

An exciting, fun approach to developing listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, and bringing the Mandarin language to life.

This progressively structured course is designed around themes that your child experiences in his/her own daily life, and introduces vocabulary appropriate to your child's age group which he/she learns and assimilates through use in a variety of relevant oral and practical activities. Our aim is to encourage interaction and establish confident communication skills at an age when your child is particularly receptive, and still uninhibited by the self-consciousness which older children experience.

It is well known that the earlier a child starts learning a new language the better: they become familiar with all the different sounds; they are more confident and their understanding of the language is greater. For these reasons, this learn-through-play programme makes extensive use of rhymes; songs; stories; poems, pretend play and drama/theatre activities; arts & crafts activities; language development games; and DVDs and multimedia tools, to help your child absorb, recycle, and retain the language. Language acquisition takes place naturally and spontaneously.

Lessons also incorporate the Pin Yin phonetic system, as well as the learning of some simple Chinese characters, and aim to cultivate a real interest in Chinese language and culture.

The focus is on making studying Mandarin a positive and enjoy able experience, and inspiring a love for learning!
