NextGen Holistic Chinese: Level 0 (Ages 5+)

Through a rich mix of traditional storytelling, fun fact exploration, folktales, idioms, and classic poetry and famous sayings, children discover the joy of Chinese in a natural and effortless way — gradually building their listening skills and comprehension without even realizing it. At the same time, character root learning helps children recognize and remember Chinese characters more easily, while regular read-aloud practice builds focus, develops a strong feel for the language, and gives children the confidence to speak Chinese freely — all while broadening their horizons in both culture and science.
