Soft-Core
Chinese Language Education
Joyful Thoughts embraces the holistic development of each student, we strive to empower students to thrive academically, personally, and ethically, both now and in the future.
*For example, many teaching materials still include outdated Chinese greetings like 吃了吗？(Have you eaten?). Today, "Hi" (嗨) or "ai (哎) + name" are more common. Similarly, terms like 时髦 (fashionable), 同志 (comrade), 丈夫 (husband), and 计算机 (computer) are being replaced in everyday conversation.
