Welcome to Have Fun With Chinese—an exciting and engaging way to learn Chinese for students of all ages. This introductory course can be tailored for your program, whether it be for elementary school students or an evening adult conversation class. Perfect for an enrichment class, an afterschool club, or a summer program!

Have Fun With Chinese sections I-IV are each comprised of fourteen 40-minute classes. They take place live on Zoom with a native-speaking instructor and a small group of students.

Program Highlights:

Our courses focus on helping students achieve fluency, cultural understanding, and interdisciplinary connections. Through interactive activities like dialogues, games, and short stories, students not only learn vocabulary and phrases but also develop the ability to use language in real-world situations. They practice understanding “what” to say as well as “when,” “why,” and “to whom” to say it. This approach enhances retention and keeps learning fun and engaging.

Flexible Learning Options:

  • Short Introductory Course: A unit of 14 lessons designed to give you a taste of the language and culture.
  • Enrichment Course: Once-a-week that is perfect for one semester or a full school year.
