Hi Micollh, Beijing Language is more advance in teaching during the preschool time but when it reaches Primary, the kids know quite a number of words. It is a good thing that they start teaching HYPY at K1 though some kids might get mixed up with phonics. Cos K2 they will teach the blending. My son is good in HYPY now. Lol

No prob. They must speak constantly n revise oso but my son seldom cos he very lazy. But no doubt his HYPY is better than elder sis.

Hi,


Just wondering if your child is still attending Beijing Languange school? If so, can you share the feedback with me?

Also, any good teacher to recommend? Mine is P4, P1 and K1.

Cheers,

I wonder if they teach ‘angmoh’ kids to learn from scratch? My kids are Eurasians, they’ve never been exposed to Mandarin other than the one or two words I tell them.

Hi, my boy is in Beijing as well. I also have the same thoughts as dohdoh, the words that they teach is quite difficult for their level, at the same time his CC only teaches very simple words like 口，吃 etc etc. And BJ is already at some chinese words with many many strokes, counting the bi hua and introducing the HYPY sounds.


Hopefully I can see the same results as dohdoh when he goes Pri 1 next year.
