Our Mandarin Corner gives our Mandarin students the oppurtunity to use what they have studied in the classroom, outside of a classroom. Here we have many interesting speaking activities, games, roleplays, and chances for students to give presentations in Mandarin.
Meet all of our Mandarin teachers, meet other students, build your network and practice your Mandarin in a comfortable and friendly environment.


Mandarin Corners are every Thursday night, 7:00 - 9:00.
