Chinese characters, also known as Hanzi (漢字) are one of the earliest forms of written language in the world, dating back approximately five thousand years. As an art form, Chinese calligraphy remains an integral aspect of Chinese culture. But do you know Chinese characters are actually related? For example, 女 (female) component can be found in a lot of characters. 她 (she), 妈(mom)，姑(aunt)，奶(grandma-Dad's mom)，姥(grandma-mom's mom)，etc. In this 30 minutes lesson, students will be able to work on component 汉字部首 water 氵to learn how to name, identify, write, and read simple characters & vocabulary. At the same time, it can help students with better Mandarin pronunciation. I will utilize interactive PowerPoint with animation. All the learning resources are created originally by me. My teaching promotes learning through interaction. Visual prompts & cues and positive reinforcements will be provided to students too. The maximum class size for this particular lesson is 6. Even if you do not know any Mandarin, you can still be able to learn and have fun with Chinese characters. Come and join me, you will surely enjoy this lesson!
