About This Program

Basic Mandarin: The Foundational Fix

This 16-class program is designed to break the cycle of rote memorization. We move beyond repetitive drills to build a permanent linguistic foundation for children ages 4 to 15 with no prior background in Mandarin.

The 16-Class Tactical Build

We install the core skills your child needs to actually use the language. Over 16 sessions, we target the four pillars of mastery:

  • Tonal Precision: We deconstruct Pinyin and the four tones. By fixing pronunciation at the start, we ensure your child is actually understood, not just reciting sounds.

  • Character Logic: We stop the “drawing” of characters. Students learn radicals and stroke logic, giving them the “code” to decode and write characters systematically.

  • Functional Lexicon: We prioritize high-frequency, HSK-aligned vocabulary—the essential language needed to navigate school requirements and international standards.

  • Syntactic Autonomy: We train the brain to stop translating word-for-word from English or Tagalog. We build a “Mandarin switch” by focusing on core sentence architecture.
