The Berkeley Public Library will hold an event throughout the summer where kids can learn Mandarin.
The Mandarin Workshop for Kids is a program that teaches children about the language through interactive activities and weekly classes. The eight-week workshop will cover topics such as animals, colors, and common phrases. Kids will learn Mandarin with the help of songs, picture Books, and games. Participants in the lessons will also learn about Taiwanese culture and art. The Education Division of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in San Francisco will sponsor the activity.
Noya Lee is the instructor of the workshop. She is the President of the Association of Northern California Chinese Schools. Lee has been the principal of the Bay Valley Chinese School and has taught Mandarin at Campolindo High School, Acalanes High School, and Stanley Middle School. She used to be a television news anchor in Taipei City. Lee graduated from Brooklyn College in 1996 with a TV and radio management degree.
The Mandarin course will be held on June 15th, June 22nd, June 29th, July 6th, July 13th, July 20th, July 27th, and August 3rd. Each session will take place at the Central Library Children's Room from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm. The program is intended for students ages 3-8. Libraries that offer language classes like this may use flyer printing to promote their workshops.
