Shu Ren of Portland — Languages

We recently enrolled my 6-year-old in the weekly language program at Shu Ren of Portland, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructor, Mia, was very engaging, which helped my shy child feel comfortable participating. They focused on basic vocabulary and fun games, and my child came home excited about the new words they learned. The class size was small, making it easier for kids to get attention and connect with one another. However, I did notice that there were long lines during pickup, which could be a bit chaotic. If you can manage the pickup timing, I would recommend this program, especially for parents looking for a supportive environment where their kids can learn a new language.

My 6-year-old recently attended the Shu Ren language program in Portland, and overall, it was a positive experience. The instructor, Mia, was engaged and made the lessons fun. My child was excited to learn basic Mandarin through games and songs, which really helped with retention. They even created paper lanterns, which turned out to be quite a creative project. The small group size was beneficial, allowing for more personalized attention, especially for my shy child. One minor annoyance was the pickup process; it was slightly chaotic with many parents arriving at once, making it hard to find my child at first. However, once I got the hang of it, things went smoother. I appreciate that there are no excessive costs for materials, unlike some other programs. I would recommend this program to other parents looking for a supportive language environment, especially if their child thrives in smaller groups.
