What Your Child Achieves:
ACTFL Proficiency Level: Novice Mid
Immersion Equivalent: Comparable to Mandarin immersion through 2nd grade (approximately 3-4 years of immersion learning)
Skills Mastered: Listening comprehension, spoken communication, vocabulary recognition (500+ words), basic character recognition
What Comes Next: After completing both ChiMigo projects (48 books), your child has achieved Novice Mid proficiency — which is the same exit level as high school Chinese 1. This means ChiMigo graduates can skip Chinese 1 entirely and enroll directly in Chinese 2 when they reach middle or high school.
