This class is part 3 of book 3 of "快乐汉语“ Chinese text book. We will study from lesson 17 to lesson 24 from the text book content. The content from book 3 is more challenging and some pages in the book don't have the help of "pīn yín", when it comes to reading Chinese. So, students need to be prepared to read Chinese characters without "pīn yīn". Students also need to work harder for this level. Each text book lesson would take two weeks to finish. Students would repeat after the teacher for new Chinese vocabulary and are always encouraged to make his/her own Chinese sentences or questions, based on newly learned words or phrases. Below is each lesson from the text book: 十七课/lesson 17 :我们都在图书馆看书。 Week one: We will study first half of the lesson 17 content from the text book. Week two: We will resume the second half of lesson 17 content from the text book. 十八课/lesson 18: 我们都跑上山去·。 Week three: We will study first half of the lesson 18 content from the text book. Week four: We will resume the second half of lesson 18 content from the text book. 十九课/lesson 19: 有什么新闻? Week five: We will study first half of the lesson 11 content from the text book. Week six: We will resume the second half of lesson 11 content from the text book. 二十课/lesson 20:他正在采访。 Week seven: We will study first half of the lesson 12 content from the text book. Week eight: We will resume the second half of lesson 12 content from the text book. 二十一课/lesson 21: 中文歌表演比赛。 Week nine: We will study first half of the lesson 13 content from the text book. Week ten: We will resume the second half of lesson 13 content from the text book. 二十二课/lesson 22: 我们一到假期就去旅行。 Week eleven: We will study first half of the lesson 14 content from the text book. Week twelve: We will resume the second half of lesson 14 content from the text book. 二十三课/lesson 23:我要从美国到中国去。 Week thirteen: We will study first half of the lesson 15 content from the text book. Week fourteen: We will resume the second half of lesson 15 content from the text book. 二十四课/lesson 24: 在中国过年。 Week fifteen: We will study first half of the lesson 16 content from the text book. Week sixteen: We will resume the second half of lesson 16 content from the text book. Finally, if we had time, we will review as much as possible.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Attention: If your child has never had any experience with the Chinese language, please DO NOT enroll him/her in my text book classes. It's better to enroll him/her in my 4-week, 6-week or 8-week beginner classes first. Thank you for your time reading this note.
I have been teaching on Outschool since September in 2016. Quite a few moms have expressed their thankfulness for inspiring their kids to learn Mandarin Chinese. Some of my students even teach their family members how to count in Chinese. Some sing Chinese songs all day at home, after they learn some Chinese songs in class. I am certainly always happy to hear all the positive feedback and stories.
Now, the following is something about me:
I have taught quite a few homeschooled kids and their moms. I also teach grown-ups and people with different nationalities on line. I have a Bachelor's degree in language arts. I can teach traditional and simplified Chinese and I grew up in Taiwan. Now, I'm based in the US. I enjoy teaching Chinese immensely and I am passionate about making learning fun. My own kids, at 15 and 20, are bilingual in English and Mandarin, they were born and are raised in the US. I am my kids' Chinese teacher. I also teach them math, French, some dialects and other subjects at home and on the road. I often explain math in Chinese, like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division...etc. We also do a lot of story time in multilingual languages with children's picture books. I like traveling and learning other languages. I also like to watch documentary film, crime programs and Nova channel on TV. I also enjoying taking a walk.
I engage young students with games, stuffed animals, toys and singing some children songs to make lessons fun. At the end, kids are motivated to learn more Chinese. I am originally from Taiwan. I speak Mandarin Chinese(native), Hakkanese(a dialect), Taiwanese(a dialect), English(fluent enough), French(upper intermediate conversational level). I know Italian( a lot of words), Spanish( a lot of words). I'm learning German, Japanese and Cantonese currently. If I am not teaching on Outschool, I sit down to create my own Chinese curriculum and, learn different languages, to have a walk and once in a while go out for dinner with my family...etc. Since the end of 2019, I started to paint with some help of Youtube tutorials.

Note:
1. If you ask me how I teach my lessons, I encourage my young students to sing songs and to be as silly/funny as possible and to have a relaxing attitude in class. I encourage students to sing the Chinese vocabulary and sentences out, it does help memorizing Chinese.
2. I post Chinese worksheets in the classroom mainly for students to practice writing Chinese characters, but my homework is optional. If students would like to practice writing Chinese characters, it would be great. It's also fine, if students don't feel like practicing writing Chinese characters.
我从2016年开始在Outschool上教书。 我教过不少在家自学的学生和他们的妈妈。 我也在网路上教成人还有不同国籍的人。 我有大学学历,我是主修英文的。 我可以教繁体或是简体中文,我是在台湾长大的。 我很享受中文教学, 也很热情地把教学变得好玩。 我自己有两个孩子, 一个十五岁和一个二十岁。 他们会说中英文。 他们两个都是在美国出生长大的。 我是我两个孩子的中文老师, 我也自己在家和在路上教他们数学,法文, 一些其他方言,还有其他学科。 我们在生活中学习。 我常常用中文解释数学给他们听。 例如:加法,减法,乘法和除法···等。 我也常常用不同语言的绘本跟孩子一起坐下来一起念书。 我喜欢旅行和学习不同的语言,我也喜欢看纪录片,犯罪记录片,外出散步和看Nova频道的科学片。 我利用一些游戏,布偶,玩具和唱儿歌来带动学生的学习乐趣。 这样做常常激发学生想要学习更多的中文。 我说中文,客家话,台湾话(不怎么流利,但是听得懂。),英文(算流利),法文(可以随便就跟说法文的人交谈)。 我知道很多意大利文和西班牙文字。我目前在家学德语,日语和广东话。如果我没在Outschool上教书,我就坐下来在家制作教学文件, 学习不同的语言,散步,全家偶尔一起去餐厅吃晚餐...等等。 谢谢/謝謝!
J’enseigne sur Outschool depuis 2016. Un certain nombre de mamans m’ont exprimé leur gratitude d’avoir motivé leurs enfants dans l’apprentissage du chinois : certains de mes élèves, m'ont-elles dit, leur ont appris à compter en chinois ; d’autres chantent des chansons chinoises toute la journée à la maison, ils apprennent ces chansons en classe. Je suis très heureuse de ces retours positifs.
Quelques mots, maintenant, sur moi :
Depuis 2006 j’enseigne le mandarin, tant à des élèves qui font l’école à la maison qu’à leurs mères. J’enseigne également aux adultes de différentes nationalités via Internet. J’ai une licence en langage des arts. J’enseigne soit en relation directe soit à distane via Skype ou Zoom. J’enseigne le chinois traditionnel et le chinois simplifié.
J’adore enseigner le chinois et le faire de manière ludique. Mes propres enfants, à 15 et 19 ans, nés et élevés aux USA, sont bilingues, ils parlent anglais et mandarin. C’est moi qui leur fait la classe, entre autres en mathématiques, en français et dans d’autres langues étrangères, mais aussi dans les autres disciplines, soit à la maison soit lors de nos voyages. Je leur explique les opérations mathématiques (l’addition, la soustraction, la multiplication, la division) en chinois. Nous consacrons aussi beaucoup de temps à la lecture de livres illustrés pour enfants dans de multiples langues. J’adore voyager et apprendre les langues étrangères.
J’éveille l’intérêt de mes jeunes élèves avec des jeux, des animaux en peluche, des jouets et des chansons pour enfants. Cela les motive pour apprendre le chinois.
En ce qui me concerne, je suis originaire de Taïwan. Le mandarin est ma langue maternelle et je parle également le dialecte Hakka et le taïwanais. Je parle couramment l’anglais, je maîtrise suffisamment bien le français pour tenir une conversation (niveau intermédiaire supérieur) et je pratique également l’italien (bon niveau de vocabulaire), l’espagnol (idem). J’appends actuellement l’allemand, le japonais et le cantonais.
Thanks/Xie Xie/Merci/Grazie/Gracias/Danke
Notes :
1 – certains parents m’ont contactée pour savoir si je pouvais donner des leçons privées en ligne, la réponse est OUI.
2 – Si vous me demandez comment j’enseigne, je vous répondrai que j’encourage mes jeunes élèves à chanter, à ne pas craindre les maladresses et à avoir une attitude décontractée en classe. J’encourage mes élèves à chanter le vocabulaire chinois et les phrases chinoises, cela aide vraiment la mémorisation.
