Small Saturday classes for kids 4–12 and teens, plus Sunday mornings for adult beginners. We teach Mandarin with simplified characters and pinyin — lots of talking, songs and games, and a little neat writing in the squares.周六为4–12岁儿童和青少年开设小班课，周日上午另有成人入门班。我们教普通话、简体字和拼音——多开口，多唱多玩，也在田字格里一笔一画练写字。

In Mandarin, the pitch of your voice changes the word. Say ma four ways and you get four different words. Tap a card to hear its tone — the red dot rides the pitch line.普通话里，音高一变，意思就变。同一个 ma 念成四个声调，就是四个不同的字。点一下卡片听听声调，小红点会沿着音高线走。
Sound plays only when you tap. Keyboard: 1 2 3 4. The small numbers show pitch on a 1–5 scale, 5 being highest.只有点击时才会发声，也可以按键盘 1 2 3 4。卡片上的小数字表示音高，1最低，5最高。
Press play, listen, then pick the matching pitch line. Five rounds — one red star for every right answer.按下播放，仔细听，再选出对应的音高线。一共五题，答对一题得一颗小红星。
Which line matches what you heard?你听到的是哪一条音高线？
Press play to start — the lines wake up once there’s a tone to match.先按播放开始，有了题目，下面的音高线就可以选啦。
Class rhyme声调口诀一声平，二声扬，三声拐弯，四声降。One stays flat, two goes up, three bends round, four drops down.一句话记住四个声调的走向。
Tongue twister绕口令妈妈骑马，马慢，妈妈骂马。Māma qí mǎ, mǎ màn, māma mà mǎ.Mum rides the horse; the horse is slow; Mum scolds the horse.一句话里藏着好几个 ma，试试看能不能说清楚！
