***This is for the first session of a 10 week class that meets twice per week. You may sit in on the first class before deciding if you want to commit to the rest!
Beginner Mandarin Course (HSK 1–2)
What: A structured, instructor-led course following a pre-established curriculum. At just $10 per class hour, our goal is to make learning Chinese accessible to everyone. Classes will follow a textbook, with homework assigned between sessions. While the focus is on speaking skills, students will also practice reading and writing.
For the beginner class, students should have a basic grasp of pinyin and pronunciation. If you’re not familiar with pinyin, we can provide self-guided materials in advance to help you get up to speed in advance of the class.
Who: Small group setting (5–10* students), led by a native Mandarin speaker.
When: August 25th – October 29th, Tuesdays & Thursdays, Beginner 6:30–7:30 PM
