Interested in improving Chinese?  

Tired of the traditional way of learning Chinese? 

Come join CAST summer 2022 at San Francisco State University both on-site and online. Funded by the National Security Agency, CAST aims to help college students develop their Chinese. 

Theory and practice prove that popular literature and multimedia are the most effective way to engage and help students improve their Chinese. 

Our former STARTALK Students provide the best testimonies on how comics, pop songs and movies helped change their attitude about learning Chinese and turned them into lifelong learners of Chinese.
