Those who have learned Mandarin say that learning the spoken language is not extremely difficult.
The rules of Chinese grammar are simple.
Mandarin has none of the verb tenses or case endings that have made many people suffer while learning Latin.
No past tense, no future tense, no subjunctive. The verb is always the same.
You do have to master the four different tones, or you will sound very funny.
(It doesn't matter if you are tone deaf. You don't have to sound a certain note.)
To start, we suggest a one hour lesson once a week for 12 weeks.
Come in for your no-obligation evaluation interview: meet your instructor before you start.
You start as soon as you and the instructor agree on a schedule.
