Chinese for Beginners FAQs


How does your Beginner Program work?

My child has already been studying the language. Is the Beginner Program appropriate?

PandaTree’s Beginner Program is designed for students ages 6-12 who don’t speak the language, through to students who are speaking in simple sentences about everyday topics. It is aligned to ACTFL’s Novice level. During your child’s lessons your tutor will assess his or her language level to develop a curriculum pathway appropriate for their language level.
