Class Experience

In this ongoing Chinese fun club, students will learn and practice by playing interactive games based on real life topics each week.

Each class, students can learn new vocabularies, both Pinyin and Chinese characters with a native Chinese speaker (that’s me!). Students are encouraged to learn with their own pace. They will learn not only speaking & listening, but also reading and writing. After going through new vocabularies and expressions about the topic, we’ll play 1-2 games together to review. Then, we will read rhythm or sing a song in Chinese together. Finally, we will play online game together on Blooket.com (Blooket is a third party platform that is used to play review games, NO personal information or account needed). 

This class will be taught in English, but students are encouraged to speak Mandarin Chinese as much as they could or would like to. It will be an engaging mandarin group learning environment, and it’s also a good opportunity to make friends and practice mandarin in an age-liked group. Believe me, students will gain not only language skills in this class. I’d like to nurture their true love for Mandarin Chinese and Chinese culture.

Detailed Agenda could be:
Ice breaking: 3’
New vocabularies and expressions teaching : 10’
Interaction games: 15’
Free show & tell: 5’

Blooket.com will be used to play our review games every week. It is a third party platform to enhance learning fun, similar to Kahoot, but looks more cute for younger children. The game link will be shared during the class, NO personal information and account are needed to join the game. Youtube will be a resource in the class to watch poems, songs in Chinese on my shared screen.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I had been living in Beijing, one of the most historic city in China for more than 30 years, and grew up in Hutong and kept all the customs generation by generation. I taught mandarin in Oklahoma, US for 2 years and voluntarily provided Chinese culture sharing club in the  local public elementary school for 3 years. I LOVE Chinese culture and  this unique language. My dream is to support more and more students to know Chinese culture and Mandarin Chinese. I'm passionate to work with children on Chinese cultural learning and Mandarin teaching, because it's not only full of fun for me, but also meaningful for me.

Some testimonials from previous learners and parents:

"Our child loved his time in Moony's class. Art, food, culture, language, history - there was so much for him to absorb, and Moony was a thoughtful and gentle guide. We highly recommend her class!"---Suzy Thompson
