Daughter has been selected to attend Chinese remedial. The first thing which came into my head is, 'she's just in P1' Maybe her teacher has a way to coach them...I get so mad coaching her for ting xie every week. After writing hanyu pinyin for 叶子，写字，二月 so many times last night, she still couldn't get it...it's really up to my neck.

Hi Janet
I remember let dd practice the HYPI many years ago by using an interactive learning CD and it did help to improve the recognition and listening skill. Perhaps you want to consider or source for any suitable one that makes the learning more fun.

Hi Brenda,
I will try...honestly I don't know what is wrong with this girl. My son dislikes Chinese but he will still get work done and still do ok for his exam...for my gal, she dislikes it and will not attempt to improve.

You mean \"大拇指\"? This is a weekly magazine. Think by fridays, most of the copies would have been sold out. Look out for the next issue during the early week, such as mondays to wednesdays? HTH.

May be you can give PlayChinese a try. (Don't get me wrong, I am not their promoter.)http://www.playchinese.com/ However, I found it quite an effective way for children to learn writing, HYPY & chengyu.

Hi summer,

Thanks. Will try it.

Hi Brenda,
Son’s CL teacher replied my email regarding 大拇指. He told me it is difficult for son and that zhi1 shi4 bao4 will be easier…if I wish to expose son to this 大拇指, get a copy from newstand to read with him. I guess 大拇指 is more suitable for kids using HCL like your daughter.

Hi Janet

True, in dd school 大拇指 is also only ordered for HCL class. DD is not taking HCL and we just started to subscribe recently aim to give her more exposure.

No point being KS if teacher has advised me not to order it...think he knows my son's standard. Happy enough if he is willing to read 'My Paper' and the zhi1 shi4 bao4 again.
