Shaolingo 普通话: Chinese language and culture club
“The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.” Old Chinese proverb.
Why should my children learn Chinese?
Mandarin Chinese is the language for 21st century children to learn. That’s why Meridian has started a number of new clubs from Autumn term 2009.
As China continues its rise as the world’s next economic superpower, knowing some Chinese can help to prepare your children for big opportunities in the future.
Why learn with Shaolingo?
Shaolingo makes learning Chinese easier for children by using our revolutionary TDR™ teaching method that simplifies grammar and speeds up learning. We have successfully taught Chinese in the UK for over twenty years.
Shaolingo sessions use games, stories, competitions, teamwork, songs, computers, crafts, and lots more to help children learn the language and culture of China.
To them it’s a bit like coming to a party every week where they learn important skills for life whilst having great fun.
What are the Shaolingo club sessions like?
Club sessions include:
- Learning to speak, understand, read and write Mandarin Chinese
- Getting your own Chinese name
- Virtual tour of China
- Earning rewards for successful “grading”
