“My kid really enjoyed the summer camp. Teacher was great with children, very patient and knowledgeable. My kid started talking in Mandarin and teaching me Mandarin words. I loved that they gave us many pictures at the end of the camp for us to cherish. Would definitely go back next year.”
Erine Budi
“Our children have been coming to Everyday Mandarin since they have been in kindergarten. They thoroughly enjoy being in the program, learning about their culture and language. Ms. Wu along with staff, continues to passionately teach the students mandarin in a positive way as she loves all her students. We appreciate and value the program very much, hoping it will stay in our community for a long time as a tool to help preserve culture and language for the next generation.”

Summer camp is run by our Mandarin Head Teacher, Ms. Wu, of 8+ years with the support of our head and assistant teachers from other schools, collaborating and joining us.

正确学习中文的方法The Correct ways to learn Mandarin
全球化地球村的概念早就行之有年,中国在其中也扮演着重要角色,相信未来几年更会是如此。加上庞大人口数与大量的海外移民的发展,自然地中文在人与人沟通上也就扮演更重要的角色。试想,如果一个人不了解中华文化,不会说中文,是不是如同不能掌握未来呢? 答案是肯定的! 那想要了解中国和中华文化,还能与海外华裔沟通,并促进族裔融合,最有效的方法就是好好地掌握中文,也就是学习中文。更进一步地为下一代着想,如果您的孩子还没有开始接触中文或学习中文,是不是落后在起跑线上? 另外,由于地缘关系和历史发展,中文和其他亚洲语言关系密切,像是日语、韩语等也都深受中文(华语)影响甚深。因此掌握中文,对其他语言的学习也有着重要的辅助作用,是不是一举数得? 学习中文的方式有很多种,以下是一些建议: 第一,学习中文的第一步就是掌握基本的听、说、读、写技能。孩子们可以通过听广播、看电影、听中文流行音乐、游戏、阅读书籍、参加语言课程等方式来提高孩子的中文水平。第二,加强发音的练习,中文的发音对于初学者来说可能会有些困难。所以先建议您让孩子会听,而且多听,为的就是让孩子通过听说练习来提升发音的技能。当然,也可以使用很多学习软件,作为日常发音练习的工具。第三,学习汉字,这是中文的一个重要组成部分。会写汉字、了解汉字,也就直接或间接地了解中华文化之美。你可以通过阅读书籍、报纸、杂志等方式来学习汉字。也可以透过写作的练习,来帮助孩子更好地掌握中文的语法和词汇。通过写日记、写文章、书法练习、参加写作课程等方式来增强写作的能力。第四,有机会就让孩子多参加中文的各项竞赛。例如:朗读、演讲、即席演讲、铅笔书法、作文等,让孩子不间断地接触各类型的中文活动,增加使用中文的机会与应变能力,还可以训练孩子们的胆量与信心,可说一举数得! 最后值得一提的中文学习方式就是沉浸式教学与学习。现今中文教学方法大多是都是采取所谓沉浸式教学,它最大特点就是营造一个足够的中文教学和学生练习的环境。所以,学生可以在很自然的条件下,将所听、所说、所看、所写、所用皆以为中文来使用。特别注意是不用过于担心中文文法难、汉字难写、发音不容易等问题。在沉浸式的教学环境中,似乎看不到这种”难”,因为老师会将复杂的中文学习变成了有趣的活动,实质的生活体验,有用的语言交流等。当学习变成了有趣好玩的活动时,孩子们学习态度的积极性将会大大的提升。这种教学方式除了塑造足够的中文环境之外,更展现了以学生为中心的教学理念,不再是单向教学而是双向互动。这同时也是Everyday Mandarin 教学的理念与服务的目标。希望这些建议对你有所帮助!目前Everyday Mandarin暑期夏令营正在热烈招生中,欢迎来电询问与报名。 (415) 952-7223
