My Mandarin Learning Experience

A note from our Mandarin teacher, Hongyu Ovitt

Learning a new language requires memorization and thinking. Learning is a life journey, but in these videos you will see our graduated 8th grade students' Mandarin learning journey throughout middle school. For their final project, the class was asked to make a short video sharing their experience learning Chinese at EBI. The growth of our students is evident in these short films — from the expansion of their vocabulary to a more articulate pronunciation and ability to think on their feet. I am very proud and pleased with the accomplishments of the Class of 2020!
