How have the Europeans mastered multiple languages with such ease? The key is to start learning languages in early childhood! The latest research shows that learning a second language “supercharges" a child’s developing brains, leading to better academic performance and higher test scores, thus a better chance of succeeding in the future.
Why Chinese:
- China’s tremendous economic growth creates opportunities for U.S. businesses
- China is an immense market for American goods and services
- China’s political importance in the Asia-Pacific region
- An official language of the United Nations, Mandarin Chinese is the most widely spoken first language in the world

From Our Parent's Heart
Just as mao bi is the tool to create Chinese characters, the Mao-Bi Chinese Language and Cultural Center creates a unique
opportunity for my daughter Xiaoya to gain an understanding and appreciation of her native land...from thousands of miles away. Xiaoya is learning Mandarin, while gaining first-hand exposure to the childhood songs, the rich customs and wonderful traditions of the Chinese culture.
Unlike a traditional language school, Mao-Bi's child-centered, connect-the-dots approach makes learning lots of fun--a program Xiaoya looks forward to each week! Together as a family we practice the phrases learned at Mao-Bi and increasingly my daughter responds to me in Mandarin instead of English. Listening to Chinese music and singing Chinese songs introduced by Mao-Bi, have become part of our daily routine.
Our family's participation in Mao-Bi's many programs has helped me fill the void many adoptive families experience with their children's cultures of origin.

From the Press:
NPR February 6, 2006:
“With China emerging as an economic superpower, some educators believe that learning Chinese—the most widely spoken language in the world— will give students an edge.”
NPR March 13, 2006:
“A British public school now requires that all students study the Mandarin Chinese language . A well known British headmaster argues that the teaching of Mandarin is essential in any country that wants to stay competitive in the 21st century. “
