Choose from a variety of day and evening classes in Mandarin Chinese, from
beginning through advanced levels. Accelerated and Intensive classes
are available in Summer Quarter. Classes are composed of motivated
adult learners, with a minimum of five, a maximum of 15 and an average
of eight students per class.
Experienced and patient native instructors with relevant academic
and cultural training establish a relaxed yet rigorous learning environment
suited to the needs of the adult learner. From the first day of instruction,
students are immersed in the sounds and structures of the language.
Through drills, games, songs, written and oral exercises, and role-playing,
instructors guide students through the grammar and syntax and help
them on their way towards linguistic proficiency. Regular review and
homework exercises detailed in class syllabuses ensure that students
stay abreast of the material.
