As a parent myself, I know how important it is to have a support group and community while we raise bilingual kids.
As a Chinese teacher and parent, I keep looking for better ideas to help my kids and hopefully other kids learn Mandarin-Chinese in an effective and fun way.
With this purpose, I am going to interview people who have some good ideas and lessons to share.
If you read my former posts: Basic Rules for Reading Chinese Characters, you might get some ideas about how to guess the meaning of one character by reading its radical.
In this post, I will talk about which way is good to read out the Chinese character.
If you try to raise a bilingual child, you might know the importance of a playdate. I have a post talking about this topic: How to Set Up a Playdate for Learning Mandarin Chinese.
However, before you set up a playdate, you have to know some parents first. In this topic, I am going to share my experience about how to set up a parents club.
To a Mandarin-Chinese learner, learning traditional characters or simplified characters is a question.
Traditional characters are used commonly in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and most oversea communities.
Simplified characters are used officially on Mainland China, Singapore, Malaysia and growing oversea communities.
To English speakers, Mandarin-Chinese has a fame of being one of the most difficult languages to learn.
Back to many years ago, this statement might be true. However, it is is not the case any more.
