How do I know if my class registration is complete?
Once a student fills out the registration form online and pays for the tuition, the registration is complete.
Once the tuition is received, the Learning Center will do the class placement. Students will be notified about their classes prior to the beginning of the first class.
Simplified vs Traditional Chinese
TCML teaches traditional Chinese, but the books the Center uses have both simplified and traditional Chinese characters. The pronunciation of mandarin is the same, so speaking and listening have no difference, just the reading and writing are different.
