Since 2005, ChinaFriends has been teaching Mandarin Chinese and Chinese culture to both children and adults. ChinaFriends, orginially named ChinaKids started out in a living room helping mom's learn simple Chinese phrases preparing them to meet their daughters for the first time in China. The community quickly expanded and moved into a multi-classroom facility in downtown Chicago. In 2007, ChinaKids became a non-profit organization to better fit the school's mission. Classes continue to be offered 7 days a week and taught by our experienced and talented staff of native Chinese teachers. We are unique as a language school in Chicago in that we specialize just in Chinese. Our curriculum, methods, and materials are tailored to meet the specific and varied needs of our students. We take a systematic, spiral-up approach aimed at building up capabilities and internalizing the language through practical application and consistent usage. We believe this approach is key to building a foundation for success in Chinese language study.
