Sign up now for Beginning Mandarin Chinese

Ages: 12 to Adult
Monday and Wednesday, 6:40-8:00 p.m.
Class starts Jan. 19, 2011
Registration open now
NHS Room D104
$145 In-District/$174 Out-of-District

NEWBERG, Ore. - Chehalem Park and Recreation District’s Community School program is proud to offer a course in Beginning Mandarin Chinese. Felix Loo says he is excited to offer this course in the Newberg/Dundee area.

Loo says the timing is right to offer this course here because many residents travel to China on business or work with Chinese speakers.

“My objective is to give people in the region the opportunity to learn Chinese,” said Loo. Loo, born and raised in Taiwan, began speaking Mandarin as a child through immersion, as it is the official dialect used by Chinese and Taiwan governments. He holds a M.A. in teaching and is a licensed teacher for K-8 grades. He also holds a master’s degree in computer science. He is also a “certified language interpreter” in the state of Washington, he says.

Loo taught Mandarin at Portland State University for 15 years. He teaches elementary grades through the Community School program through the City of Lake Oswego, and has taught high school as well.

“The Chinese language is very unique,” says Loo. It has a different sound, the characters are written, and one syllable is pronounced at a time.

To register, visit www.cprdnewberg.org. You can also register in person at Chehalem Aquatic and Fitness Center at 1802 Haworth Avenue in Newberg, or by phone at (503) 538-7454 or (503) 537-2909.
