METHODOLOGY
Many learners dread Chinese writing drills - repeating pages and pages of the same Chinese characters. Writing can be fun if done moderately and in varied ways. Your child will be engaged because we
Limit writing exercises to not more than 15 repetitions per vocabularyCreate varied activities (e.g. varying word sizes, alternating between similar-looking characters, creating tracing and colouring options)Provide more than one way to learn - colour, write, visualiseEnhance learning through careful selection of vocabulary that builds foundation (e.g. the character 牛 cow/bull appears in other animals - snail 蜗牛 and buffalo 水牛)In our books, we teach Chinese characters broken down into PARTS (not strokes only). A part can be a stroke or a Chinese Alphabet.
A Chinese Alphabet is a repetitive component that is made up of 2 to 6 strokes. Learning Chinese Alphabets before learning Chinese characters helps to reduce memory work - don't remember a character by disintegrated strokes, remember it by PARTS (strokes and alphabets) and do it systematically.
