Or get my younger son to act out in his comical way what the sentence is describing and we all have a good laugh. Both methods motivate her to remember it faster so works well for us.

With my crappy Chinese, I was the sparring partner for my kids.
We would break the mo xie passage into parts and then we would recite alternate parts, and then switch over, and then finally the complete para. Coz when I recite my part, they actually have to also know if it is correct or not. so they learnt thru trying to catch my mistakes
It kinda worked quite well then.
Come on.. stun your kids like vegetables with your new prowess in CL oredi! :nunchuk:

Good idea! It is always more effective to learn as a group. But wouldn't it be better to look for kids in the same school as your child? Different schools have different word lists for Chinese tingxie.

It's ok, my kid is willing to take on another spelling list, thus thought of the idea.

Thanks for the heads up mate.
Many schools create Whatsapp groups for parents of children in the same classes. It might be better for you to use those groups to source for other parents who may like your idea of getting study buddies for their kids.

Study buddies, btw, are the secret to academic success that surprisingly few people know about. It can make a world of difference to a student's attitude to learning.

Another tip: If your child has a smartphone, teach him/her to READ the tingxie/moxie/spelling words and phrases and record them on the smartphone. Then let him/her playback the words to test him/herself. My daughter practices this 🙂 And you are right... I'm really a hands-off parent. 😂

But you have given me an idea. Combine the two! Get your kid to skype with her classmate and then do tingxie and moxie for each other online! They can take turns to either be the tester or the student. Saves on your travelling. Also very fun for the kids.
