Why is MANDO SCHOOL unique?

At MANDO SCHOOL, we’re not just about teaching Mandarin – we’re about creating magical, memorable experiences that inspire a love for language and culture. Our mission is to make Mandarin learning fun, engaging, and impactful for every child, while also supporting parents and schools in the process.

But what truly sets us apart? It’s the little things we do that make a big difference. From personalised progress reports to Chinese names and an online resource hub, we go above and beyond to ensure that every child’s Mandarin learning journey is exciting, meaningful, and unforgettable.

1. Progress Reports: Tracking Every Child’s Journey

At MANDO SCHOOL, we believe in providing clear and meaningful feedback to help every child thrive in their Mandarin learning journey. Our Progress Reports are designed to give parents and teachers a detailed overview of each child’s progress, ensuring they are meeting key learning objectives.

For each lesson, we set specific learning objectives tailored to the child’s age group and language level. These objectives ensure a structured learning experience, focusing on key areas such as vocabulary acquisition, speaking confidence, and listening comprehension.

Children are assessed on how well they apply the learning objectives, using three clear criteria:

• Little Application of Objective: The child showed minimal understanding or use of the new vocabulary or concepts.
• Some Application of Objective: The child demonstrated partial understanding and was able to use the new words or phrases with some support.
• Met the Objective: The child confidently understood and applied the learning objective independently.

Our Progress Reports provide valuable insights into each child’s strengths and areas for improvement. They help teachers tailor future lessons to individual needs and give parents a clear understanding of their child’s Mandarin learning journey.

By setting clear objectives and tracking progress against them, we ensure every child is continuously developing their Mandarin language skills in a fun, supportive, and effective way.

2. Chinese Names: A Magical and Memorable Experience

One of the most unique experiences at MANDO SCHOOL is that every child receives their very own Chinese name. This special tradition not only makes learning Mandarin more personal but also gives children a sense of connection and belonging to the language and culture.

How It Works:

• Personalised Chinese Names: We carefully choose Chinese names that match each child’s personality and characteristics, ensuring they have a meaningful and memorable name.

• Introduction to Chinese Culture: Children learn the meaning behind their name, introducing them to Chinese naming traditions and cultural values.

• Writing and Pronunciation Practice: We teach children how to write their Chinese name in characters and pronounce it correctly, making it a fun and educational experience.

Why It Matters:

• Sense of Identity: Having a Chinese name makes children feel special and connected to the language, boosting their confidence and sense of identity.

• Cultural Appreciation: It fosters curiosity and respect for Chinese culture, helping children develop a global perspective.

• Excitement and Motivation: Children feel excited and proud of their Chinese names, motivating them to learn and use Mandarin more confidently.

3. Online Resource Hub: Learning Beyond the Classroom

We believe that learning Mandarin doesn’t stop when class ends. That’s why we offer an exclusive online resource hub for children and parents to continue learning at home. Our resource hub is packed with fun and educational content, making Mandarin practice easy and accessible.

What’s Inside Our Online Resource Hub:

• Interactive Games and Activities: Children can play educational games that reinforce vocabulary and phrases learned in class.

• Songs, Rhymes, and Videos: Catchy Mandarin songs, rhymes, and videos make learning fun and memorable, helping children practise pronunciation and rhythm.

• Printable Worksheets and Flashcards: Parents can download printable resources to support their child’s learning at home.

• Story Videos and Animation: Our story-led adventures are available online, allowing children to relive the excitement and practise Mandarin vocabulary.

• Parent Guides and Tips: We provide guides for parents to help them support their child’s Mandarin learning journey, even if they don’t speak Mandarin themselves.

Why It Matters:

• Continuity in Learning: The resource hub ensures children continue practising Mandarin at home, reinforcing what they learn in class.

• Parent Involvement: It empowers parents to actively participate in their child’s language learning, enhancing family bonding and support.

• Flexible and Fun Learning: Children can learn at their own pace, choosing games and activities they enjoy the most, making Mandarin a fun and positive experience.

One parent shared, “The online games and videos are brilliant! My son loves singing the Mandarin songs at home, and it’s great to see him learning while having fun.”

4. Story-Led Adventures: Bringing Mandarin to Life

What makes MANDO SCHOOL truly magical is our unique approach to teaching Mandarin through story-led adventures. Each lesson is an exciting journey filled with imagination, action, and fun, making Mandarin learning unforgettable.

Why It’s Unique:

• Imaginative Storytelling: Our stories are designed to capture children’s imaginations with exciting plots, lovable characters, and adventurous challenges.

• Active Participation: Children don’t just listen – they become part of the story, acting out characters and using Mandarin to solve problems and complete missions.

• Repetitive Vocabulary: Key Mandarin words and phrases are repeated throughout the story, helping children remember them naturally and effortlessly. 

In one of our adventures, children help a mischievous monkey find its lost bananas, learning Mandarin words for directions, numbers, and fruits. They jump, dance, and laugh – all while using Mandarin!
