Winter Session 2004 Has Begun!

Musical Mandarin Afterschool:
Wednesday, 4 - 4:45pm
for 6 - 12 year olds
Morristown, NJ

Introduce (or reintroduce) your child to Chinese in a fun setting. The focus remains on speaking and singing. After school sessions include some character recognition. Let us know if you want a Chinese name to use in class. mus-mandarin@wubison.com

Winter session begins in January
Chinese for 2 – 5 year olds (& their adult)
Mondays 9:30 a.m. Mountain Lakes, NJ

Introduce your child(ren) to Mandarin with Chinese songs, poetry, games and instrument play! Immersion and music and movement are the most effective ways to give your child another language. Let music and movement be the keys to learning in Musical Mandarin. Puppets, storybooks and flannelboards are also used to engage more senses.

This is not traditional immersion; but a specially designed program to meet the learning needs of those not speaking Mandarin at home. CD (or cassette) and lyrics included. Traditional Chinese and translated American favorite songs, poems, and stories are incorporated. Spring term includes “Frog Song”, “Life Cycle”, and Very Hungry Caterpillar. They support learning basics including greetings, animals, foods, colors, and counting. Topics vary each session.

Mandarin speakers welcome. No prior exposure to Mandarin is required. Don’t wait until it is harder for your child to learn another language. Call with your questions and arrange to visit a class or register now for the spring sessions of fifty-minute classes. $115 for the first child/adult pair; $60 for each additional family member. In Mountain Lakes, Mondays or Tuesdays at 9:30.

Mountain Lakes, NJ is right at the intersection of route 80 and 287. Class is straight off the highway about 1 ½ miles.
