Learning Hanyu Pinyin
-
zakashi:
My DD in P1 was very upset as her teacher marked almost all wrong for her HYPY spelling just because she put the wrong tone on top of the H Y P Y. In fact all her spelling in Hypy are correct except the tone. My child is perfect in HYPY but really confused with using the right tone. Are they learning Chinese or English?
did your DD Chinese tr give them a list of Chinese words to prepare for tingxie ?
if Yes, ask yr girl to practise inside an exercise book first.
based on the list given :-
Left hand side - write out the Chinese character first,
next column - write out the corresponding hypy sound, with the respective tone 1 to 4. If she still don't get it, play that CD for that hypy book that sembgal recommend. Let her hear so that she get the tone correct.
then you mark her practice, before the actual tingxie day.
nowadays, the Chinese tr v strict. Not only ensure get the hypy spelling correct, the tone must also be correct. Otherwise, they say you're not pronounciating the Chinese word properly, so mark you wrong. -
sembgal:
Yes, all K2 parents (kids born 2007) better not be lax with Chinese.
Yes, my child can spell out the Hanyu pinyin but get confused with the four intonation. This year K2 cannot lax, otherwise go P1 next year I suffer with her.
if not, next year 2014 P1 first half of the year (Jan - Jun), not only our poor child struggle hypy, we parents also struggle along. -

Actually not only spelling and tone need be correct, you have to ensure all letters are written in small cap. My DS spelt all correctly including the tones all correct but teacher still mark wrong when one of the \"y\" was too big and looks like capital letter. He cried when asking Daddy to sign his tingxie book. In pre-school, it was not this strict so i was not aware of this.

No Chinese character except hypy. I did not even know what word is that. All the pages are in hypy for tingxie (here we also did not put tone on top of the hypy when we quote). I need to search for the Chinese character to write beside the hypy. It is very frustrating. -

approach your child's Chinese tr for the tingxie list containing 2 column -

both the Chinese word / character to be tested + corresponding hypy with the respective tone already indicated on it (beside the Chinese words).
if Chinese tr don't have, then approach the Chinese HOD.
say you need this list, to help your child prepare tingxie.
for Normal Chinese, this list is called :-
\" 小学 华 文 1A 汉 语 拼 音 认 读 表 \"
for Higher Chinese, this list is called :-
\" 小学 高 级 华 文 1A 汉 语 拼 音 认 读 表 \"
She'll distribute to the whole class, to prepare tingxie. -
Does anyone know where I can get software to include hypy to be included on top of each 字 in Microsoft word please? For eg, certain 字 is new and when learning spelling/默写, my daughter tends to forget or not familiar. So I type out the whole list in microsoft Word but it is painful to include hypy.
Any advice is appreciated. -
My son in P1 this year but I let him do P3/P4 Chinese asse book,when he is k2,he join P2 tuition class.may be I’m kiasu cause I start him early as 2 or 3years old.he is in HYPY class on k1.i found 字宝宝 is very good when teaching.he finish P1 and P2 字宝宝 around end k1.but only 认字no 写.so when he start HYPY it’s easy for him.hope this help!!

Fat cello, wow, it is indeed a good headstart. Ur DS can take Higher Chinese easily in upper primary / sec. You are definitely not kiasu! If the child is ready and positive towards learning with all the conditions right, why not!
My DS is in sec1 now. He is good in chinese, esp HYPY. It is very important to be good in HYPY not just for P1, 1st half of the year, but it comes in very handy at the later studies stages too. My DS has to submit chinese assignments using word and powerpoint in his P5, P6 and now sec1. He types chinese using HYPY with ease. -

K2 do P3 / P4 is really very, very advanced. But if your son can handle, it's ok. Take it as exposure to higher level material. You'd given him a good strong foundation, right from the early beginning.

hi zakashi,
No Chinese character except hypy. I did not even know what word is that. All the pages are in hypy for tingxie (here we also did not put tone on top of the hypy when we quote). I need to search for the Chinese character to write beside the hypy. It is very frustrating.
after you obtain the tingxie listing from your child's Chinese tr / HOD,
a)
1st: ask yr child to read aloud each word from listing (given).
test if child able to recognize the character first (without aid of any hypy)
example (tingxie test 1)
一\t\t\t五\t\t\t鱼\t\t\t雨
我
鸦\t\t\t蛙\t\t\t窝\t\t\t牙 \t
袜
b)
2nd: ask your child to fill in the hypy correct tone, beside each character.
一\t\tyi\t
五\t\twu
鱼\t\tyu
雨 \t\tyu
我\t\two
鸦\t\tya\t\t
蛙\t\twa
窝\t\two
牙 \t\tya
袜 \t\twa
c)
3rd: ask your child to write out both the Chinese word, + hypy tone beside it( side by side).
