Mandarin--The Sound of the Future

As the world is changing so is Chinatown. Earlier this year, the Boston Globe reported a story on Boston Chinatown Chinese schools whose students were starting to learn Mandarin instead of Cantonese (see “Mandarin – The Language of the 21 Century” on my blog in February). This week the New York Times has a story on Manhattan’s Chinatown adapting to the sound of Mandarin starting with the young generation http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/22/nyregion/22chinese.html?em .

Keeping up with current globalization and looking into the future, Panda Land brings the sound of Mandarin to Americans on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Every week we have children and adults from all walks of life actively learning Mandarin and enjoying its sound, characters, and culture.

The sound of Mandarin has come from Beijing to you closer than ever before.
