Plenty of exciting things coming up at CI
Fortnightly Roundup
Welcome to this week's Fortnightly Roundup. Over the next month, we have many exciting things for you to look forward to. Shortly we will be releasing a new Nihao Mate episode about Chinese snacks and ways to describe different flavours in Chinese, as well as a cultural workshop video teaching Chinese Knotting. Mid-Autumn Festival is also fast approaching. We will be holding a special Chinese Conversation Corner on September 16th to celebrate, where participants can learn to make mooncakes. Places will be extremely limited and registration is essential, please email us to secure your spot. In the second week of the school holidays, we also plan to run 2 cultural workshops, Taichi and Chinese painting, which are validated by Children's University Australasia. Registration details for these workshops will be in our next newsletter.
PACE's Chinese language courses are also beginning in just a couple of weeks and registration closes shortly. Further information below.
