About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
1. Communicative, Real-Life Focus
I emphasize using Chinese in practical situations—ordering food, making introductions, discussing hobbies, or navigating a work meeting.
You use the language from day one, not just memorize it.
2. Scaffolded Learning (循序渐进)
I break down concepts into digestible steps:
Characters → Radicals → Patterns
Vocabulary → Collocations → Natural sentences
Grammar points → Guided practice → Real usage
This keeps learning structured and confidence-building.
3. Balanced Skills Development
Each lesson develops:
Listening (audio clips, conversation drills)
Speaking (pronunciation coaching, tones practice, role-play)
Reading (graded texts, character breakdowns)
Writing (stroke order, typing, short written tasks)
4. Tone and Pronunciation Precision
Mandarin tones are challenging, so I provide:
Tone-pair drills
Minimal pairs comparison
Slow + natural-speed recordings
Personalized correction with explanations
5. Pattern Recognition
Mandarin is full of reusable structures. I highlight patterns like:
还是 / 或者 (choices)
先…然后… (sequencing)
比 / 更 / 最高级 (comparisons)
把 structure (emphasis)
Result complements (好, 完, 到…)
Learning patterns accelerates fluency.
