The art of teaching Chinese

Sevenoaks was amongst the first schools in England to offer Mandarin , in response to just a handful of children who wanted to learn it .

Now it ’ s in real demand . Over 125 students , and counting .

Learning the characters is key of course ; how to read them and write them . So naturally our dive into the culture also involves attempts to teach Chinese calligraphy . Lettering or art form ? You decide .
