Kids Mandarin Group Class

We offer fun and useful conversational Mandarin courses that will help children master Chinese as their second language.

Here at Linda Mandarin, our highly experienced teachers have designed a holistic academic and conversational teaching system for kids taking Mandarin as a second language. We base our teaching methodology on a communicative approach – it stimulates students’ interest in learning Chinese and elevates their four key skills (listening, reading, writing and speaking). Going beyond content from a particular coursebook, Linda Mandarin’s approaches language learning as a matter of accumulation, as we understand that children absorb best without pressure.

• Learn through engaging and fun activities
• Build a solid foundation in reading, writing and speaking to prepare children well for school
• Classes given by passionate and experienced teachers who hold expertise in Chinese teaching and are early childhood trained

Chinese is a unique and complex subject taught in school – the ways of thinking in the language is not easily accessible through its structure. It can be challenging to grasp the grammar and other language rules required in both writing and speaking.

Therefore, it is crucial to develop your child’s Mandarin language skills from an early age. The key to creative thinking and developing linguistic fluency is to improve their communicative skills – allowing them to perform even better in school. Beyond their current level of study, these second language writing and communication skills can support their future studies and even benefit their career.

Here at Linda Mandarin, the objective of our children Chinese lessons is to establish core writing and speaking skills in children, empowering them to study the language on their own in the long term. Children will come out of our courses as fluent in Mandarin – they will master standardized comprehension strategies, grasp standardized reading methods, and converse in the language freely.
