Reintroducing Mandarin as a language for children is not difficult, as there are so many topics about the language and history to work on. But it does depend on the teacher, and whether they can stimulate them to look forward to gaining knowledge and finding a passion in learning, and this is speaking from experience, the teacher plays a major role aside from the contents!!

Thanks for your reply.  My girl had her first lesson there yesterday, she liked it so much.  She was so talkative in the class, because she liked it, she was willing to do homework to get prepare for next lesson.  Hope the course is helping her with writing.  Thanks.
