MANDARIN CHINESE LANGUAGE CLASSES

Mandarin Chinese Language students
Summer 2010 Mandarin Chinese Language Classes
The China Council is offering 10 weeks of Mandarin Chinese language classes starting week of June 23, 2010 for students of all ability levels. Classes are small, fun, with lots of opportunity to speak. Students will receive individual attention. Students also learn phonetic Pinyin writing system and Chinese characters (including handwriting and Microsoft's Chinese input method).
All classes are taught by Willow Zheng, a native Mandarin speaker with more than 10 years experience in Teaching Mandarin as a second language. Except where necessary (at the beginning), classes are conducted in Mandarin Chinese, which is very beneficial for listening comprehension. We use the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines, to help students use language functions in the real world, and we emphasize Chinese culture and customs for students planning to travel to China.
Classes are held at the NW China Council office in Old Town / Chinatown: 127 NW 3rd Ave., Portland, OR 97209.
