JUNIOR CHINESE:

AN INTRODUCTION

Chinese Courses for Kids and Teens

We offer a number of courses to help Hong Kong junior students with both their written and their spoken Chinese.

 

These courses fall into one of two categories: courses for Cantonese speakers, and courses for non-native speaker children and teens

ZHONGWEN XIEZUO JIQIAO

Suitable for:  5-18 years old (Cantonese speakers)

Course Description:  Through a variety of stories and text types, students will develop their vocabulary base of written characters and language / grammar patterns. And by focusing on the planning and organising of text, students will learn to better present and communicate their ideas in written Chinese. 

XUE HAO PUTONGHUA FOR JUNIORS

CHINESE EXAM PREPARATION

CHINESE AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Chinese courses for non-native speaker kids & teens

When learning Chinese - whether written or spoken - junior students whose mother tongue is not Cantonese will likely have very different needs from those of local Cantonese-speaking juniors.

Non-native speaker junior students enrolled in local schools may require remedial or catch-up Chinese. However, those studying at an international school will likely be learning Modern Standard Chinese, ie Chinese as a Foreign Language (Putonghua / Mandarin, with simplified rather than traditional characters).
