Intermediate Mandarin Class for Kids

Q: how do i sign up for class?

To sign up for youth classes, please visit our SACCI student registration page. To sign up for adult classes, please visit our TCML student registration page.

Q: Do you offer sibling or family discounts?

Yes! We offer sibling and family discounts because we believe learning Chinese is even more meaningful when the whole family learns together. When siblings or parents are studying at the same time, they can practice conversations at home, encourage one another, and make language learning part of everyday family life. It’s a great way to build confidence while creating lasting memories together.

Q: Do you teach Traditional or Simplified Chinese?

We teach Traditional Chinese , the writing system used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and many overseas Chinese communities. Traditional Chinese preserves the language’s rich history and cultural heritage while providing students with a strong foundation in reading and writing. Once students understand Traditional Chinese, transitioning to Simplified Chinese later is generally easier than the reverse.

Every Sunday 1:30 P.M. – 3:30 P.M.
