We have a small Mandarin playgroup that meets every Monday at Hilltots. We have 2 girls and one boy close to the age of 18 months. Would you like to come for a visit?

anyone have any experience of either of these? I am looking for a class for my 5 yr old daughter (native English speaker), something that is learn through play preferably not just repeat after me, I would like to take advantage of the time before she starts schoool full time in Sept

I just started one at the YWCA - not part of the ESMD. I found some of the others very expensive - $230/50 mins seems a little excessive to me.
You can email [email protected] and ask. $100/hour.

Dear Kashismum,
Is YWCA class good? Where is it? Can you share more info with me?
Thx,

teresa - First off, my Mandarin is non-existent! But, I like the professionalism of the teachers and it all seems very comparable with classes we do in English.

Give it a try and see if you like it. It's at the YWCA on MacDonnel Rd, Central.

My daughter is 16 months old too. Does anyone know any good mandarin playgroup within N.T. area? (eg. Tai Po/MOS/Shatin)
