Mulberry House Mandarin Immersion Education (Central)

If you are looking to encourage your children to learn Mandarin without imposing rigid and mentally restrictive methods, look no further! Mulberry House engages each child individually, taps into his/her curiosity and encourages creativity in a safe and fun Mandarin-speaking environment. The teachers are committed and extremely caring - they invest great effort to connect with each child, and structure lessons, demonstrations, and songs in such a fashion that children respond, ask questions, and learn all in Mandarin (even when their native language is something other than Mandarin). My 5-year old son has been going to core foundation and creative arts and science classes for nearly 3 years and he absolutely LOVES it. He started off with minimal to no Mandarin-speaking ability, and today is recognising Chinese characters (and pointing at signs all over Hong Kong telling his mama what each character means!) and comfortably conversing in basic Mandarin as well. It is amazing that despite living in a 95% English-speaking household, he completely (and voluntarily) speaks in only Mandarin as soon as he arrives at Mulberry House and is so excited to share about what he has learned. My 3-year old has been attending Mulberry House since she was 15-months old and I love how she will sing and dance to songs in Mandarin at her own initiative and she even ASKS to "read" the Mandarin dictionary! She sometimes speaks Chinglish at home not realizing she has interwoven two languages as one. My 2-year old has only just started and already, based on the encouragement of the teachers, she enjoys participating and giggles and laughs in class as she learns new words and phrases in Mandarin. Thank you, Mulberry House, for creating a stimulating and exciting learning environment where children who have minimal Mandarin support at home are transformed into fluent little speakers, who LOVE learning Mandarin with each new day.
