COURSE DESCRIPTIONS:
Play & Learn - Using songs and movement, children act out many verbs and “visit” farms in Mexico/France.
Beginning Lower - Introduces basic language concepts: Counting, colors, greetings and good-byes, snack vocabu-
lary, body parts, active verbs and a few questions.
Beginning Upper - Introduces basic language concepts. Upper differs from the beginning lower course in
several ways: Teaches more vocabulary, more complex, age appropriate games are played, and reading is intro-
duced.
Beginning Chinese, Level One - Open to all ages. Introduces basic language concepts in Mandarin, with the
use of games, rhymes and skits. Culture will be introduced in each lesson as well as familiarization of the
Chinese characters.
Theme “School Life” - For students who have already taken the Beginner course or are in middle school.
A lively rap song takes children through all the steps of getting ready for school. Students learn to talk about
their teachers, their school, and the objects in the classroom. They learn to introduce each other to parents
and friends. Games like "Who's got the pencil?”, "Who's calling you?” and "Around the World” give children an
opportunity to use the vocabulary in fun ways.
