Early Chinese Learning

28 April 2008No Comment

Now that Anya has started nursery, she’s picking up more and more chinese as well. Which of coure is a good thing.

BUT.

I’m so hopeless at it.

Hardly any of the chinese characters can get inside my head (okay, I know a few really simple ones, but that’s about it!)

And, I can’t even confidently read the words with the curves at the top (pinyin)!

*slaps forehead*

Anyway.

Since I can’t be that much of a ‘verbal help’ to Anya, I thought it’d be good to have some of the chinese characters she’s learned displayed at home. You know, just so that she’s more familiar with them too.

And, I came across this website!

You can print out their colouring pages, worksheets (the strokes) or check out their vocabulary list (eg. names of body parts in english, pinyin and chinese character).

As for us, so far we’ve printed out some of their flashcards‘ and stuck them on our wall!

Anya now occasionally walks over to the wall and identifies the characters. And Vai, well, he’d often repeat what Anya cites, and add a bit of his silly faces every now and then!
