 Why iCanMandarin?

A Key to Communication

Communication is the focus of our curriculum design, classroom instruction, and learning outcome. That means you will speak Chinese from day one, and right on to meaningfully express yourself and connect with others.

Ideal Class Size

Our class size is small enough to give individual attention to each learner, while large enough for an interactive and communicative classroom—proven to encourage language learning and authentic usage in a social environment.

Multiple Intelligences

Every aspect of the course—duration of each lesson, choice of classroom and take-home activities—have been carefully designed to boost the learner’s multiple intelligences in language, confidence, social skills, and high-order thinking.
