Yinghua Language School, Lawrenceville: YingHua Language School is a non-profit organization located in Lawrenceville, Mercer County, New Jersey. Its founding principle is to build a language school that can commit to and focus on students' Chinese language education so that its graduates truly gain solid language skills. To that end, we constantly look for ways to improve the quality of Chinese education for all students. Currently it is the only school in New Jersey that has fully adopted Dr. Liping Ma's "Direct Character Recognition" methodology. We teach the "modern" or simplified Chinese characters and introduce the Chinese phonetic system (PinYin) as a tool at the appropriate stage. YingHua Language School is proud to be the FIRST community-based language school accredited by CSS-MSA.
CHL Program - Chinese as a Heritage Language: (Total 31 sessions, 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Sundays between September and June). For students who have a Mandarin Chinese-speaking environment at home.
Speaking Mandarin Chinese at home regularly is considered to be part of this curriculum. Some students can understand most of what is spoken in Chinese to them but prefer answering in English. We suggest that their parents continue speaking Chinese to the children and speaking Chinese among themselves in front of the children. Learn to paraphrase their words in Chinese as a way to confirm that you have heard what they've said in English. Persistence is the key.
CSL Program - Chinese as a Second Language: (Total 31 sessions, 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Sundays between September and June). For students who do not have a Mandarin Chinese-speaking environment at home.
Parents should borrow audio/visual materials from YingHua Chinese Education Library as supplemental materials. Students, especially young students, should try to listen to Chinese tapes for at least 30 minutes daily for at least 3 months in order to get "an ear" for the four tones in Chinese pronunciation.
