Learning a language is more than just about how to read and speak, it is also about learning more about the culture behind.

Keeping that in mind, we have hosted three end of the year events so that our students could have the opportunity to not only learn more about each other outside the classroom, but also to immerse themselves into Chinese culture.

The following are some highlights of the events we hosted. Enjoy!

Let’s admit it, dumplings are delicious. It is also one of the first things we associate with when we think about Chinese culture.

For that reason, we hosted this ‘Make and Enjoy Dumplings’ event so that our students not only try out different kinds of dumplings, but also learn how to make it!

Being able to taste the dumplings you spent a whole afternoon learning how to make is the best feeling ever.

What better ways there are to immerse yourself into Chinese culture than to actually sing Chinese songs? All of us had a wonderful time getting to know more about Mandarin songs as well as showcasing their lovely vocals!

Last but not least, we also collaborated with London Chinese Exchange for a ‘Play Mahjong Together’ event. Our students had a great afternoon learning how to play this traditional Chinese game!
