WHY MONSTER?
​
Little Monster Land created Monster Mandarin / 䏿–‡ as a way for our little monsters to get early exposure to Mandarin Chinese (䏿–‡ / 汉è¯).
​
Monster Mandarin is also a great way to meet your neighbors in your own backyards, while creating a sense of community.

NEVER TOO EARLY
​
According to the BBC, "We all start out as natural linguists. As babies, we can hear all of the 600 consonants and 200 vowels that make up the world’s languages. Within our first year, our brains begin to specialise, tuning into the sounds we hear most frequently."
​
MONSTER CLASS
​
It's important to start teaching our little monsters as early as possible, and that includes foreign language. Monster Mandarin immerses our little monsters in Mandarin Chinese with the earliest of building blocks like colors, numbers, and animals through familiar and catchy kids tunes.
​
Our teachers will also be leading arts and crafts sessions within Monster Mandarin -- this will help our little monsters to learn even more natural language while working on creativity and motor skills.
​
We hope you enjoy our class as much as we enjoyed building Little Monster Land!
