FAQs
Q: What do you cover in your 8 classes?
We cover pinyin, basic greetings, self-introduction, numbers, expressing time, days of the week, and inviting people to dinner. We also teach how to search up a character in Chinese dictionary. Our last lesson is an exam that test students comprehension of the 9 classes. This is a great introductory course to the language.

We cover both speaking and writing. However, we are more focused on the speaking and pinyin element of the language for starters. Students will also learn some basic characters, but students are not required to memorize them on the test.

I've found the Saturday morning intro Mandarin classes at Golden Key enjoyable and good value as well. This class provides a great beginner's foundation of Mandarin and also is nice to interact with other students. Our teacher Joanna is very helpful, especially when it comes to pinyin and tones in Mandarin which I feel many language software programs fall short. I would recommend anyone who is serious about learning this language to give this class a try. --- Neil W.

I am planning to visit China in the near future so I wanted to learn some basic mandarin before my trip.
I joined the Golden Key Cultural Centre Inc since January 2015 and am on my third session. I enjoy the lessons and have learned a lot thanks to our wonderful teacher Joanna whose teaching style is fun and informative. --- Marilyn N.

I really enjoy learning Mandarin every Saturday this year and it was a great help for me. Before I used to take online course, but I realized I should have come to this class earlier. Because there was not much progress in learning other language online. In class, I am always more focused and it also saved me lots of time. More importantly I am encouraged by other students in class. I highly recommend anyone interested in learning Mandarin. Big thanks to my teacher - Joanna. --- Simon P.

I have taken several language classes in my live (High School, Colledge and Online) but this class was my favorite.
The style of teaching is very relaxed and low pressure. We had a small group, and we all had a chance to speak from day one.
I'm very happy that I took this class to kick start my Mandarin learning. Xièxiè ---Claude
