Develop Accurate Hearing and Interpretation of Sounds

Familiarity with tones and sounds actually helps cultivate musical ability in children.

Better Interpretation of Symbols

Since Chinese writing relies on thousands of characters, learners of Mandarin Chinese have to read and interpret a vast number of visual symbols, activating more regions of the brain than English, which only relies on a phonetic alphabet.

Improved Hand-Eye Coordination

Writing Chinese characters (pen strokes in multiple directions and differentiating hand pressure) has been shown to improve fine motor skills and spatial recognition in children.

Stronger Math Skills

Chinese involves learning language, sounds, drawing, and math all at once, meaning it activates more regions of the brain, compared to English-speakers which mainly use right and left hemispheres, ultimately improving cognitive development, leading to greater overall creativity, enhanced problem-solving, and increased emotional intelligence

With all these benefits for the mind and brain, Mandarin language learning for children is sure to be an asset for their whole life, regardless of their eventual interests or profession.
