Why Learning Language is Important: Chinese

Why Learning Language is Important: Chinese

In this episode of Voices of a Highway, we celebrate the 6 days in April that honor languages. Executive Director, Lily Pabian, sits down with Nancy Tai, the Principal of Taiwan Mandarin Learning Center, right off Buford Highway. The Taiwan Mandarin Learning Center offers cultural programs in addition to Mandarin Chinese language classes and serve around 100 students at the moment. These students include second and third generation Asian Americans and people who simply are interested in learning Chinese language and cultures.

Language is important to the heart of Buford Highway's diversity and this episode gives us a glimpse into the innerworkings of language teaching, the importance of Chinese culture and language along the corridor, and of course, the passion from an advocate like Nancy.
