Having fun in my Chinese classes

  Our class sparkles with well-trained TCSOL-certified teachers who believe that the text book should only be the roadmap, not the vehicle itself. Furthermore, we not only instruct students in the fundamentals of the language but also offer tangible exposure to Chinese culture with introductions to calligraphy, basic Chinese cooking and hand-crafts through Chinese incorporated into some lessons.
