In this ongoing course, we will meet 30 mins once a week to learn Simplified Mandarin. This course is tailored for student's needs. It would work the best if you let me know what you would like to focus on and what are you interested in and what your goals are, and then I will tailor the class to make sure you get the most out of it.

For students who do not have much experiences in Mandarin, the class will be distributed in both English 70% and Mandarin 30%:
Session can be focused on 

1: Oral Communication by learning how to great with others, how to count the numbers, how to introduce yourself and how to order food by using Chinese Mandarin etc... 
2: Chinese Pinyin learning and pronunciation by using the 4 sounds correctly, for example we will be learning initials( b,p,m,f) and finals (a, o, e, i, u...) and the tones related with that i.e (ā、á、ǎ、à）
3: Practice writing: each class will learn 5-10 characters i.e（天，地，田，火，水）
4: Reading the simple descriptive stories with pictures and understand the meaning. 

Session time break down:
0-5 min  -  We will be reviewing old words and phrases in the form of a conversation could be written or spoken to enhance previous learning. 
5-20 min - We will focus this time on learning new material, words or grammar structures, and seeing how it blends into other things we have learned. In this part, teacher will be spend as much time as possible to help student's understanding and interact with the student. 
20-30 min - The student will given the opportunities to practice what we learned either by using in class activities such as gap filling, matching game or trace writing and sentence making to produce the learning outcome. 

Please inform me at least 24 hours before the class about which area you would like to work on so that I can better prepare for the session and to best fit your learning needs. Thanks.
