thanks totoro, will try it tomorrow nite to see if i can squeeze 15 mins of his night time attention. i just started the first lesson with him after spending some time preparing for the cards…well, not very successful as he being cheeky and moving around and dun want to listen to me though i pepper the teaching with analogies.can anyone advise me if i do the correct thing? this is what i tried today.1) show him the flashcard and ask him what is it and ans my own question and use analogy to demonstrate the word e.g. yue (moon) looks a moon with some hints from the book.2) show him the combined word e.g. ta kou (big mouth) and illustrate to him that words can be combined to give a "new" meaning.
