Business Culture & Language Centre

“…Ms. Lu’s ability to effortlessly teach a wide variety of topic areas including Chinese domestic society and politics, military, economics, modern Chinese literature and even some elements of classical Chinese as they pertain to reading the above topics in modern Chinese. She is not only skilled at creating supportive, professional learning environments that encourage the whole learner, but easily adapts to my professional learning needs as they change” Timothy Brothers

I am thankful for the service that has been provided by your center this past year to meet my family's language learning needs. Tim (8) and Aline (6) amazingly were able to learn how to read Vietnamese by incorporating Mrs. Yen Nguyen's method only after 4 lessons this summer; this is the first time they've taken any formal Vietnamese lessons. My husband and I were surprised because they did not speak much Vietnamese at home up to then; they spoke more English and Mandarin because they had been attending Chinese school since they were 3. Because of conflicting schedules, we also tried your tutoring service this fall instead of enrolling them in Chinese school. Ms. Cho Kiu Wan has done a wonderful job keeping the kids engaged during the Mandarin tutoring sessions. The kids also enjoyed learning a new language from Ms. Wan, Cantonese. It's been fun being able to watch movies in Cantonese with them now... and they can't stop singing the TVB theme song of the Dragon Sabre and Heavenly Sword they asked Ms. Wan to teach them! Since taking classes at BCLC, my kids have had more confidence speaking in the different languages they've learned at BCLC, especially when we go to restaurants or around family members. Their grandparents are also happy because they can communicate better with them. In addition, family members and friends who speak Vietnamese, Cantonese, and/or Mandarin are impressed by how distinct their pronunciations are. Amy T. Falls Church, VA
