New Methods for Learning Mandarin Chinese

The Effective Chinese Language School is committed to making it easier for you to learn Chinese. We do this by offering you a well designed course, with lots of activities in class and lots of materials to use outside of class.

We feature:
- Experienced instructors, enthusiastic about your success
- Evening classes, downtown Portland, Oregon
- Clear, well planned language instruction
- Online materials that reinforce and expand on the classroom activities

Our approach to learning is simple. We introduce the language incrementally in a way that will allow you to learn without being overwhelmed. We introduce limited number of words per week and always review and reuse previous vocabulary as we move forward. Each week you use the language in the class room in activities designed to make the language unforgettable. And between classes you can reveiw and preview the notes on our wikispace site, where you will find audio materials, fash cards, homework exercises.

This program is for people who want to use their time effectively. We make the most out of classroom time by engaging in activities that you can not do elsewhere. And providing you with a rich online experience to use between classes.

We constantly evaluate new materials and technologies for inclusion, so you can be sure you are getting the best learning environment available.
