Courses

Substantial content. Visual teaching methods. Combine language courses with thematic activities.

• Students of different language levels will be assigned to either a Basic Class or Senior Class (maximum 10 students per class).
• Courses for the Basic Class involve everyday Chinese vocabulary and pronunciations, the basic rules of writing and even some Chinese ancient poetry among many other things.
  Those for the Senior Class emphasize the enhancement of the students' ability to listen to, to speak and to read Chinese fluently and accurately.

No courses on Saturdays nor Sundays but, for a small extra fee, there are optional weekend trips available. We'll go to places like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace -- let's experience the culture of Beijing together on our days off. We will also have a chance to tour some of Beijing 's hutongs (traditional-style lanes & alleys), to taste Beijing roast duck, to make Chinese dumplings, and to watch an acrobatics show as well as a Beijing opera. Outside of Beijing but in the nearby vicinity lie Tianjin City ( Beijing 's port city) and Chengde Mountain Resort … let's explore Beijing and its vicinity together!!!
