Why Learn Chinese?

- Knowledge of the Chinese language opens up the culture of one of the world's oldest civilizations.


- Chinese is the language of nearly 1/4 of the world's population
.

- The People's Republic of China is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and a potentially biggest global market in the 21st century.

- Last but not least, it is not as hard as you think.

Students’ comments: 

“ I really enjoyed this class and appreciated the teacher and assistants. I also loved the inclusion of the cultural pieces.”

“ very enjoyable and informative. I hope the classes will continue in the fall.”


“ Shi Xian is such a patient, caring instructor. I can see people’s appreciation and willingness to learn the language. This course is Fantastic and should continue.”


“I felt we started off slow but then we did start learning more after the first few weeks. I feel we need to concentrate more on just learning the basics in the short time we have.”


“ I really enjoyed this class and would hope it is continued. I am glad to have met you all, xie xie.”
