About

Welcome! Worthy Scholars who decided to tread the path of Studying Chinese! This Series is dedicated to being the lamp of your feet and the light of your path!

Study Plan:

In this series, I will combine practical communication skills with fundamental Chinese spelling skills for informative teaching, aiming to the milestone of helping you understand basic communication and pronouncing each Chinese Character independently with the support of Pinyin, the Chinese system of spelling.

For clarity sake, a session will have four major sections:

1, Communication skills: learning useful phrases and expressions, including some grammar.

2, Pinyin skill: learning the pronunciation of pinyin alphabets and the way they combine with each other.

3, Fun & Facts: learning some fun things about Chinese, such as dissecting a Chinese character, learning an idiom or slang, etc.

4, Chinese Q&A: Bring forward any question you have from the previous week's study or homework (if you have one), and I will help you solve it at the end of the session.

Other activities and things to know:

From time to time, I will add a session for special activities, such as Chinese poetry, folk stories, unique cultural aspects, or even calligraphy. Feel free to register just for these, but it won't be as much of them as the actual lesson.

Everyone is free to come, no matter what level of learning you are in. Even if you are Chinese, come in and have some fun; take a look and share some feedback, I would appreciate that a lot!

About homework, I will not assign any official homework, but maybe a few things for you to review over, I hope that you will make some progress.

I will be excited to see you there, it is great if you want to study, but it is also fine if all you want is some fun!

If the time is not ideal to you, tell me in the chat! I will se what I can do about it.

Here is a good resource for practicing Chinese, try out Duolingo! https://www.duolingo.com/enroll/zh/en/Learn-Chinese

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

I would encourage you attend most of the lesson if you want to learn Chinese, but I do not have any specific policy.

One more note, please join this series as a normal SHW member, which mean you are over 13.
