Beginner Mandarin

This course covers all language competencies: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students will develop these skills by immersing themselves in a Mandarin-rich classroom environment supported by visual aids such as posters, signs, and gestures. Language acquisition is fostered through storytelling and engaging classroom discussions. Cultural exploration is an integral part of the course. Activities include making bubble tea, crafting mooncakes for the Moon Festival, writing Spring Couplets, traditional paper-cutting, and participating in a field trip to Victoria’s Chinatown for Lunar New Year.
