Common Questions

常見問題

Do I need to speak Mandarin at home?

家裡需要說中文嗎?

Not at all! Many of our families speak only English at home. Our program is designed to work for all backgrounds. That said, any exposure helps — even watching a Chinese cartoon together counts.

What if my child already speaks some Mandarin?

如果孩子已經會說一些中文呢?

We place students by proficiency, not just age. Your child will be in a class that matches their level, so they're always appropriately challenged without feeling lost.

Why traditional characters instead of simplified?

為什麼教繁體字而不是簡體字?

We teach traditional characters (繁體字) to preserve the depth and beauty of classical Chinese writing. Students who learn traditional characters can also read simplified, but the reverse is harder.

Can adults really learn alongside children?

成人真的可以和孩子一起學習嗎?

Adults have their own separate classes! Many parents learn while their children attend their classes. It's a nice way to make Saturdays a family learning experience.

How do the high school credits work?

高中學分是如何計算的?

Our Chinese Language and Culture 3Y courses are fully accredited by Alberta Education. Students earn 5 credits per course (10-3Y, 20-3Y, 30-3Y) that count toward their high school diploma. No prerequisites needed to start.
