The helper seminar was well attended, and we hope useful!  We had many good questions and each attendee received a handout which they can look through. Click here for handout.

A Natural Way to Learn

SUPPORTING CHINESE AT HOME

Language acquisition should be a natural process in order to gain fluency.  Parents can support language at home, please speak to your children as often as possible in Chinese.  If you cannot provide this naturally, we recommend bringing a tutor into your home to try to bring some additional language to the home setting. 

If you subscribe to the Disney channels offered on NOW Broadband you can push the audio button on the remote control and set it to Audio 3, and listen to the programme in Putunghua.  The Disney channel may be a bit too complicated for non-native speakers in terms of language, however Disney Playhouse is designed for younger children, and is simpler.
