Learn Conversational Chinese

Stadium Village Church will offer Basic (Beginning) Conversational Chinese (free with a $5 registration fee each semester) on Thursdays from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Bethany House (Where English classes and Office are behind Stadium Village Church) on the 2nd floor. The husband of a PhD student/wife has volunteered to teach Americans and others who want to learn Chinese. I will be a student in that class, so come and join me. The first class is this Thursday. If you can't come this Thursday, because of a previously scheduled appointment, but will be able to join us next Thursday, let me know.

Class size is limited so return email me right away giving your name, phone number (preferably cell) and email address to pre-register if you want to join the class. First preference will be given to SVC attendees and workers, volunteers and students who plan to use their Chinese language skills to build relationships with Chinese students and scholars at the U of M. Please forward this information to anyone you think might be interested.

We are really informal, so If you don't have time to go home to eat, pack your supper or grab something on the way to eat before coming to or during the class. A microwave, tap water, coffee and tea and cups are available or you can bring your own drink. There are 4 visitor's parking spaces in the lot next to the church, two with visitor's signs and the two spaces with no number or sign facing the driveway between the church and Bethany House. Please use these spaces or park on the street. We also have a bicycle rack. Map and directions to SVC are on the web-site below.
