Teaching Chinese at Home

[Brenda10]

Hi Tamarind/Leanne



Thank you very much for your encouragement.

In fact the 黑马 was mentioned by the CL teacher to us during the May’s parent-teacher meeting. We would continue our rate of learning and more importantly is dd does enjoy all these. :celebrate:

Hi

.
DS is 4 years old this year.
.
Recently, i start him on phonic. It once a week, 1 hr on each lesson
.
As he normally speak english to us and i got let him take phonic lesson, so
not quite worry for his english but for his chinese, abit worry. now at home, he will speak some chinese to us.
.
as me and dh are working, ds are taking care by bby-sitter. normally, after work, after we take our dinner, we will fetch him home ard 7-30 - 8pm as sometimes, we need to work late. so after work, we oredi so tired and by 9pm, i will prepare him for bed. So really not much time to teach him myself
.
any suggestion by parents?? :? :?

so, instead of watching disney cartoons, watch some chinese kiddies dvd in songs and dance


kids like to watch other kids performing songs and dance, so get those in chinese and the language will become familiar soon enough

4 y/o should be in nursery already ?

Hi dokomo


How is the condition of your books by the way?

Hi Busymom,

Finally recd my books from dangdang yesterday, after 7 weeks wait. Condition of my books quite ok, acceptable condition. Guess it depends on the person who does the packing.

Hi Tamarind,

As what you mentioned, the 噼里啪啦系列 books are really cute. Think my dd will love it. I have other types of flip-up books, but not as thoughtful as these.

[aisukurimu1]

Yes, did that, but it just change to another set of verification code when I click submit. Oddly, this doesn't happened when I tried with my CItibank card. At that time, I managed to get to PayEasy page.

Really no luck on this, but the books are irresistable to give up!

Scroll up the page and items that are OOS are indicated. You will then need to delete the items from your shopping basket.

Hi Tamarind


Would you recommend to reading the CL story book which is the translated version?

We just watched the show “The Boy in Striped Pyjamas” yesterday and are thinking of getting the story book either on EL or CL version (穿条纹衣服的男孩).

Thank you for you advice.

Hi Brenda,
I do let my kids read books translated into Chinese from other languages. But for books originally written in English, and if it is a very good book, I still prefer to let my kids read it in English. For Japanese, French, German story books, reading in Chinese is absolutely fine.
