Learning Mandarin is the key to opening doors.
Young children are wired to acquire languages, and the earlier they start, the easier it is. Exposure to language and culture is beneficial in preparing children for their future in a unique way. By providing children with the opportunity to learn Chinese in a fun and easy way from an early age, Mandarin Matrix (MMX) can significantly differentiate young people’s lives and open doors. The mission of MMX is to increase Chinese fluency and literacy across the world by delivering exceptional learning resources that are fun and engaging.
Mandarin Matrix products are designed to ensure that new words are revisited and extended upon in higher levels, also known as spiral learning. The learning materials use Chinese characters and content common to curricula worldwide, including NCSSFL-ACTFL, AP, SAT, IB (PYP and MYP), YCT, Common Core, IGCSE, GCSE, and NCEA.
Students learn and practice the four key language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening, in a fun and engaging way. With the Online Classroom, students can access thousands of books, games, activities, and assessments safely and quickly, anytime and anywhere. Students can use the Online Classroom in school as a class learning tool and or at home.
