Speaking Class: focuses on practical Chinese language skills of speaking, listening and reading phonetics with emphasis on conversation.
Comprehensive Class: improves students’ listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, the fundamental four bricks of building a foundation for the language.
Class Levels
