Lunch and Learn: A Mandarin Read-Aloud Cultural Series
Join us the first Friday of every month at Noon ET
The Mandarin “Lunch and Learn 午间中文” is a free, online, monthly ‘Read-Aloud’ series for Chinese language learners of all levels.
Join us virtually to learn and practice Mandarin, while engaging with Chinese literature, poetry, history and more with fellow enthusiasts. Participants will enjoy live, interactive learning sessions with our language and cultural experts from home. Each session will start with a read-aloud in Mandarin of a carefully selected poem which represents both a touchstone to Chinese culture as well as text for practicing Mandarin language and pronunciation.
Session Educators
Shenzhan Liao (host): Head of School of Chinese Studies at China Institute.
Yongqiang Lin (co-host): Guest Faculty, East China Normal University.
Recordings of all programs are available on China Institute’s special YouTube playlist.
