Every Saturday morning, we offer Chinese classes for students older than 3. We have traditional phonetic symbol (Bopomofo) and Pinyin classes. For fifth graders and younger, the class time is 2-hr. For sixth-graders and above, we add one hour of Chinese culture class, which introduces Chinese culture and history. We also add computer classes in Chinese, so students can understand, speak, read, write, and type in Chinese. Adult Chinese is mainly for new Chinese learners and focuses on communication and daily activities. In the morning, we also offer a Tai-Chi class to the parents, so they can get exercise and improve health while waiting for the kids.
