Suggested schedules, subject to interest and instructor availability. Learning goals describe the skills we're designing our beginner programs around—not guaranteed outcomes or exam levels. Final goals will be language-specific; progress depends on starting level, attendance, practice, and individual needs.

The idea is simple

Show up.
Speak up.
Keep going.

01

People, in the same room.

Live practice with an instructor and fellow learners. Space to ask, listen, try again, and find your words.

02

A rhythm you can return to.

Regular contact with the language, week after week. A structured term built around sustained practice.

03

Skills for your actual life.

Tell us what you want to do with the language. Work, family, travel, or simply connecting with more people.

02 / Help shape what comes next

A few things to know

Before you jump in.

Are classes open for enrollment?

Not yet. We're collecting interest to decide which programs, schedules, and locations to launch. You'll see final details before making any enrollment decision.

Where in Phoenix will classes be held?

The location is still being selected. Tell us your neighborhood or ZIP code in the form so we can consider where interested learners are based.

Do I need previous experience?

Our first planned cohort is beginner Mandarin. All experience levels can share interest; your response will help us understand demand for future groups.

Will I reach a specific CEFR or HSK level?

We aren't promising a test level from attendance alone. We'll share language-specific curricula and assessment details before enrollment opens. The goals above describe the kind of practical skills we intend to develop.
