A picture we wanted to share. Our family is learning
Chinese on Saturdays at Huaxia Chinese School in Verona, NJ.
Our daughter Elena is in Chinese as a Second Language
Class. Pablo and Cristina are in a “Mommy and Me” class, Franck is in an adult
class.
Elena finished the year with the reward of #1 Most
Outstanding Student in her class. We are obviously very proud of her efforts
throughout the year. Especially since nobody in our family is a native Chinese
speaker.
What is the recipe?
-
10 minutes of Chinese every day, not more
-
Mixing homework with songs and games
-
Having a teacher that makes learning fun
We thank all the volunteers and teachers at the school who inspire children to learn Mandarin. Wǒmen
xǐhuan xuéxí pǔtōnghuà!
(We like
studying Chinese!)
