Mona Kanwal Manager Foreign Languages said that to deliver world class education where rest of the world is increasingly multilingual a well-rounded education includes high quality language learning. Understanding & proficiency of any foreign language needs time and Chinese is no exception. To indisputably understand the importance of Chinese language we motivate our children to learn the language of 21^st century in order to get linguistically literate and culturally competent. We motivate students to learn Mandarin Chinese Language and explore China through summer and winter camps organized by Hanban Confucius Institute Headquarters, China.
