Mandarin Chinese Conversation with Games and Music Level 1 A and 1B

This class is for students who have no background or very little background in Chinese. There is no prior knowledge needed for this class. This is Not a Chinese immersion class. Please note we will not be playing Mario in class, but rather this class has a Mario theme to aid in learning Chinese.

I am a native Chinese speaker and have taught Chinese for over ten years from kindergarten to adult learners. I have found teaching using strategies that employ multiple intelligences is the key to learning. In my classrooms, students learn through visual, music, language, and kinetic movements. Through using multiple intelligence strategies, students are engaged and it makes learning fun and more effective.

I like to make learning exciting and fun for my students. There are four beginner classes I offer. I have created a recommended class order to follow (A, B, C, and D) for these classes. Each of my beginner classes has a theme to help your child learn Chinese. I will provide flashcards, worksheets, and materials for these classes.

In this beginner Mandarin Chinese 1 A and 1B class your child will be able to:
Beginner class 1A has a focus on pinyin, greetings, and numbers with a Mario theme. Your child will be learning vocabulary words using Mario worksheets and pictures.

In beginner class 1B, students will be able to have a conversation on hobbies, family members, pets and can ask others what they like and dislike. Students are encouraged to complete a family tree project to share in class to apply what they have learned.
