In this 4-week class, students will learn Pinyin from the very beginning. We will learn how to pronounce, how to write and read Pinyin, which is an useful and important tool for their future Mandarin Chinese learning if they wish to read or type independently some day. We are going to learn Pinyin in a fun way, students will learn with a Chinese native speaker(yes, that's me!). We will explore the different pronunciations between Chinese Pinyin and English alphabets. We will focus on those "hard to pronounce". We will also practice and repeat during and after the class to enhance what we learned. Our topics will be: 

Week 1: Pinyin table and tunes
Week 2: Initials 
Week 3: Special finals
Week 4: Whole syllable recognition

Students will learn through prepared slides at the beginning; then we'll play interactive games to practice; finally, we will practice spelling independently and learn some Chinese words accordingly. Students are encouraged to answer/ ask questions, share opinions and thoughts, participate in our discussions and games during the class. It is also a good chance to make new friends, socialize in a group and make new connection with others. 

As I know how important it is to provide an engaging learning environment for student, I'll keep the class open and inclusive to everyone. We may not learn so much at the beginning, but “ Rome was not built in a day”, right?
