Chinese Without Tears! Using Drama as a bridge, kids Learn mandarin through recital of rhymes, singing and dancing, story and art and craft. C.A.T first introduced the idea of Beanie Club aka Dou Dou Ban in 1988 for children to gain confidence in speaking and understanding the Mandarin. Thousands of chidren have graduated from this program, many starting from zero knowledge, to being able to recite rhymes, sing and dance in chinese when they graduate after completing 30 lessons. Taught by our Founder Zhai Zhi Yu, a veteran dramatist and speech trainer with over 40 years of experience.
