These classes have been fun for the family – they have had quite an impact in making learning Mandarin enjoyable and something to look forward to. The children learn so much better with the creative and hands on way the classes are run….The 3 year old is starting to feel so comfortable with Mandarin that it is no longer seen as “foreign”, and interchangeably swaps the Mandarin words for English words in everyday conversations… the 7 year old is starting to do that too! They also have impromptu Mandarin singing sessions at home of the songs and rhymes that we learn in class.
