:rotflmao: I totally understand what you mean.....I have the same problem when I guide DD1 for upper pri. Chinese oral. The pictures and vocab get harder & I don't know many terms in Chinese so I also need to 'cheat' with the CD.... :oops:

Tinkerbelle, I'm trying to improve my own Chinese standards by reading some Chinese books as well... I have never read a Chinese story book in my entire life, except for my school textbooks :razz: So I am checking the dictionary every few sentences :imdrowning: Thank God for modern dictionaries on the iPhone!

Tinkerbelle, my dd's kindy started teaching HYPY earlier this year, because they hired a new Chinese teacher and this new teacher recommended to teach (it wasn't in the syllabus). However, because I thought they were not going to teach, I had already sent my dd to one of those cheap group classes conducted by the Resident's Committee. That served its purpose because she was already familiar when the childcare centre teacher started teaching. So I'm not worried about the HYPY. The only disadvantage of having her learn HYPY is that when she reads Chinese books with HYPY on it, she tends to read the HYPY instead of the Chinese characters :slapshead: So I would take a ruler and cover up the HYPY to force her to recognise the character :nunchuk:

Hi michyms,
:hi5: I used the ruler to cover up all the HYPY when DD2 and I read Chinese books too. Like your DD, she liked to rely on HYPY in P1 too. Now, it's a routine, she'll bring the ruler along with her Chinese book when she wants to read...haha.
