The first Chinese class in this semester is set for tonight (Tuesday) from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the International House. Usually we spend the first half hour reviewing what we learned in the last session, and the following hour learning new things. So don’t worry if you cannot come until 7 p.m.
In the first class, you will have the first half hour to tell me what you want to learn and how you would like me to teach, and I will try to make this Chinese-learning experience as fun as possible. Free snacks will also be provided.
Hope to see you!
