| How to help your child learn Mandarin at home Each Early-Birds Mandarin lesson comes with: 1 text sheet, 4~6 flash cards, and 1 audio CD (lesson recording) Please play the audio CD as much as you can. The more he/she listens, the more he/she will feel comfortable speaking and listening to Mandarin. It would be great if you could create a routine for listening to the CDs (e.g. Breakfast time, bedtime, in the car…) during the day. You could show the flash cards to your child when listening to the CD. You can also play games with the cards (such as Snap, guessing or matching the cards to the real objects). Please DO NOT test your child, or force him/her to repeat or answer in Mandarin. At this stage, our goal is to get him/her interested in the language by building a fun and pleasant learning environment. Peilin Lee Managing Director |
