Mother Nature Language Center

Our Mission

Mother Nature Language Center is a Chinese language and culture school. The school was founded in 2007 by Mr. Wen-Wu Liu. We offer small classes and private lessons ranging from absolute beginner to intensive courses for those who want a serious study of the language. We also offer business Chinese courses suited to professionals who need to visit China for work, both at our school and on-site.

We believe in a comprehensive approach to language teaching that includes cultural context and key historical background to help you understand not just the words, but also the settings in which you will use Chinese.
