  1. Hi I am interested to teach with your CD. Can you guide me along. I will do purchase on line but could you let me know if there is any lesson plan with it. I am a certified and trained infant teacher and currently tutoring to 2 toddler (3.5 yrs and 16 mths boys) in their home. I like to use your Mandarin Miss Panda CD to prepare my teaching. Hope to hear from you soon.

    • The audio program works very well with toddlers. You can watch the YouTube videos of a few of my baby/tot classes and see how the program is presented to the very young children. The Learning Guide to the Miss Panda Chinese CD will be helpful with your lesson plan. It is available on the download tab. Please also join me on Miss Panda Chinese facebook page and Pinterest for more language/culture teaching ideas and activities. Thank you for your interest. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. ~ Miss Panda

  2. Hi! Just wondering if you are still in Hawaii. We will be visiting my family there this summer and I would love for my kids to go to one of your classes!

    • Natalie, Thank you for your message. I have relocated to South America and now my program is in Ecuador. I will miss you and your kids. I would recommend you to check out the Mandarin Chinese program with Little Ambassadors (ages 0-9) in Honolulu. Please feel free to let me know if you need further information. Have an awesome time in Hawaii! Let’s Always Keep Learning Fun! ~Aloha, Miss Panda

  3. I’m trying to find a mandarin program for my son who has taken it in school from kindergarten until second grade as well as paying for after school lessons. He is 9 and absolutely loves the language! Is your program right for him? If not do you have any other suggestions that aren’t outrageously priced?
    Thanks,
    Missy

    • Missy,
      Was your son in a Mandarin Chinese immersion program or a dual language program? Would the previous school provide you the materials they used before and you can continue from there? Please check out the MPC pinterest Chinese learning resource boards https://www.pinterest.com/mspandachinese/ and you will find plenty of learning materials that might fit the needs of your boy. Please feel free to let me know if you need further assistance. Let’s Always Keep Learning Fun! ~Miss Panda
