We'll spend the first 5 minutes of the class, greeting and getting to know everyone with Mandarin and English, as well as going over some key phrases we'll be learning to help any new students. We will spend about 15 minutes taking turns to ask and answer questions in Mandarin. The last 5 minutes will be spent with a wrap up activity to check on student understanding of what we've learned during the lesson. :::::::::::::::::::::::::: How much will learners get to interact with you and each other (mention specifics like: lecture, games, slides, video clips, discussion)? :::::::::::::::::::::::::: We will be mostly speaking in Mandarin Chinese asking questions and answering those questions. :::::::::::::::::::::::::: Any required experience or knowledge learners need? :::::::::::::::::::::::::: None needed. The more you hear and speak the target language, the more you will learn.
