Chinese classes

eryca

Hi parents, do you know of any good after school Chinese classes (Cantonese) in HK Island? For ESF year 1 kid with some Chinese foundation(up to K2 at the Chinese medium local kindergarten). Something with reading comprehension and a bit of writing.

I know there's one with branches in CWB and WC called 創世紀 or something. Do you know of any other?

Please share...

你住邊區？適合國際學校小朋友的課程真係好難揾。我哋好彩揾到個好老師，要去老師屋企學，佢先用圖像教認字，之後教詞語，課文，寫作，我覺得好有系統，成效唔錯，僅供參考吓。也祝你哋好運，揾到適合自己小朋友的好課程。

想請問創世紀是否等於早慧？

I bought the kit from Oxford path which is local school syllabus in p1. It may a bit difficult for our child but we could teach her slowly and pick some interested topic for our child . The kit hv a pen to speak in Cantonese and mandarin .

Hi Kafool, I do think the 創世紀／早慧program could be suitable for what we r looking for, unfortunately I feel a bit overloaded with  the take home exercises and even the online homework. Not that I want my kids to learn without putting the effort but I just feel like the schooling/ learning culture here is becoming about the more homework the merrier.
I don't think more is better and we don't really need to rush to do this much in a designated short period of time, why rush? Can't understand...

Hi hb12699, could you share a little bit more on where do you get the kit or where can we see that to learn if that's something suitable for our needs?
Appreciate that

we actually go to 創世紀 too. My kids totally love it! They go in and watch a video and do some exercise. They totally enjoy it a lot!

請問你用廣東話教還是用普通話教？
請問你用的教材在哪兒買?

我自己教個囡時，她成日以為玩，慢慢便習慣，不要放棄自己教中文（認字），盡力自己教中文而建立父母和她的關係。尤其是讀國際學校的家們，我們少了教育局的規範，小朋友在無壓力環境下學習。我怕無課程跟住學，所以買了牛津小一的教材教她。我是用這方式教她的。自己教她便容易找到她的學習長處及短處，慢慢便找到方法令她有興趣持續學習的方法。

Hi hb12699, do you have the full name of the learning kit you are referring to? Where can we see it?
Thanks

可以買Oxford 那套中文教材，自己教。這教材是根據本地學校的小一課程。即 grade 2 程度。

thanks Aidan08.
I may give 早慧another try.
The last time we tried that my boy was literally "illiterate" in Chinese thus the frustration.

No matter which way you choose.  It's very important '唔想佢驚咗中文。'

學林我未聽過呢，所以比唔到意見你。

咁你囝囝好過我個仔好多了，我諗你真係可以試試早慧。

Same here. He won't want to learn with me. Plus the working mom thingy.

My boy can recognized over 300 Chinese words in canto pronunciation, he learnt from CreatLearning, but that's purely word recognition.

其實我自己也有教他，但孩子的普遍問題是外人教會乖點聽話點，我教他時，他感覺不像上課，比較活躍，以為在玩！而且，自己教有個問題是沒有那麼系統化，現在他的程度我尚可勝任，再進一步我可謂芒無頭緒！

普通話私人老師我本身也有請來教兒子，現在仍是很簡單的對話，所知實在不多，他明白廣東話肯定比普通話多，要開始教認字的話，我選擇廣東話，對他來說會容易點，也沒那麼抗拒。
