includedClass Experience
This class will cover basic Chinese grammar and lots of vocabulary presented in a fun pre-school friendly way, including object visuals, games, songs, books etc. Video links will be provided for students to watch between classes so that they feel more confident during class and so that less time will be spent on learning vocabulary and more time will be spent on speaking and doing activities in the language as a group. Class-time is spent doing implementation, practice and creation activities that help internalize the vocabulary and retain proper pronunciation. Printable writing sheets and instructional videos are provided for those who would like to participate in the writing portion. While we will certainly learn up to number 5, we may go as high as number 10 depending on the ages and levels of the students. Further vocabulary writing sheets are available upon request.
