My First Chinese Characters - For ESF / International School Students

For non-Chinese children, who are starting to learn Mandarin and need help to recognise, read, write, and memorize simplified Chinese characters.
According to his/her level, your child will:

• review the different types of characters (origin, stroke order, individual components, compound characters and common radicals);
• learn strategic ways to memorise them effectively;
• practise recognising and reading Chinese characters relevant to his/her age, level and areas of interest.
• enlarge his/her range of characters (and the words formed with them).

The ultimate goal is to draw on children's inner curiosity and fascination for anything new and different to teach them to read and write Chinese characters through fun activities. These are specially devised to grab their attention, while arousing their interest in Chinese characters and culture.
To add yet more fun and excitement to the course, your child will be provided with a special Chinese writing brush, and introduced to the art of Chinese calligraphy. A valuable complement to any of our courses!
