Hi Littlewoman


I find Wan's mentioned method is very good.

Another way is to play the 接力赛。 E.g. you may start with 面包 and the child can continuous with 包子 then follow by 子孙 etc.

You may also decide the number of words or which ever you think is desire.

I think this is another way to have fun and gain more words.

Hopefully the information is useful. :lol:

thanks for this! its a great way for the kids to learn new vocabulary!

Do share if you get the books, and also if they are worth reading. Thanks

Hi Mummy of 2, I just bought Emile translated by Allan Bloom and 李平沤, i.e. I bought both English and Chinese editions. Several readers commented that Allan Bloom offers the best translation of Rosseau's works, so I bought his edition. As for 李平沤, it's because his is the edition mentioned by 尹老师 but I couldn't find the same publisher. At the same time, I bought John Dewey's Experience and Education (杜威).

I will take quite some time to finish all these books on top of my busy schedule. I always thought I will have lots of time when I become a SAHM but this is not the case.

Will post my thoughts on the books after I have completed them. Wish me luck!

pummanuel,

I went to the website you posted and it is really good ! Thanks so much for sharing.

You're most welcome, Tamarind. 尹老师 mentioned that she is working on her 2nd book in her blog. She will share in greater details on certain topics that she has covered or not covered in her first book.

Hi I am new here. Appreciate what have been shared.

Any suggestion for parent like me who don’t read or write Chinese to coach daughter. She is in P1 (SAP sch). Sent her to 2 CL weekend classes. On weekdays if she has CL homework, husband & I try ‘helping’ by giving moral support. Most of the time we weren’t sure if she has done her work correctly. Taught daughter to use CL electronic dictionary independently. Daughter has been positive about learning CL so far and has been scoring 70s for modular assessments. Thought marks were good for a child with no CL background. Not until I met a tr friend who commented that they weren’t good enough for a p1. Now I am worried!

are you ethnically chinese?

i would say 70 for a SAP sch is quite impressive already. but I've been out of touch for quite long. 70+ and liking / not hating the subject to me is preferable to cramming / stressing her up to get another 10 points and killing any love for the language.

let's try not to let other kiasu parents prejudice our parenting too much...
