DASH specializes in teaching Chinese Mandarin to school-age children and adults with minimal or without background in the language. All our programs are offered either purely online or purely face-to-face.
For School-Age Children:
1. Chinese Language Classes (CLC) – This is a 12-year program composed of three (3) main levels (Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced). Each level has four (4) sublevels where each sublevel is implemented by school year of 36 weeks. We ensure that by the end of this program, students are able to proficiently listen, speak, read, and write. For Beginner levels, we focus on listen and speaking skills by immersing students in the Chinese-speaking environment. For Intermediate levels, students slowly transition to learning sentence construction as well as grammar concepts. For Advanced levels, students are expected to bring together all that they have learned to write essays and business letters as well as discuss world news and current events.
2. Chinese Montessori by Dash Early Childhood Care and Education – This is a 36-week pre-kindergarten program conducted purely in Chinese Mandarin for children ages 3 to 5 years old. We immerse students in a Chinese-speaking environment for three (3) hours a day five (5) times a week so they can acquire the language naturally.
For Adults:
1. Chinese Language Program (CLP) – This is an 18-week crash course to learning Chinese Mandarin specially developed for adult learners with minimal or completely without background in Chinese. By the end of level 1, students who began completely without background in Chinese are expected to understand and communicate in simple conversations. And upon accomplishing level 2, students will be able to take and pass the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) level 1 and/or 2, a standardized test of Standard Chinese language proficiency of China for non-native speakers.
2. Foundational Mandarin (FM) – This program uses the CLP curriculum in teaching Chinese Mandarin to special groups or corporate companies who wish to tailor-fit the program applicable to their field.
