Fortnightly Roundup 12 March 2021
Fortnightly Roundup
Welcome to our Fortnightly Roundup. Chinese Conversation Corner is now in its second week. In last Friday's class, we celebrated International Women's Day by sharing the story of Zhang Guimei, a woman who dedicated her life to helping educate girls from lower socio-economic families, with the hope that education can lift them out of poverty. You can watch her story here. Today's topic will be on renting an apartment in China and the useful vocabulary you need to know.
Our Children's Chinese Poetry Class enrollment remains open to new students at any time throughout the program. The classes incorporate learning Chinese poems and songs, as well as related craft activities. We have featured some of the student's fantastic work below.
