Do you afraid your kid did not know the Chinese langage when they study Int

Tks for the sharing. Can you share more about when to start the method ? And, how about your systematic way of teaching 部首？

I have read the book writting by 胡雁 and thought it was = Glenn Demon approach. Since my kid does not like the GD approach, I did not persist on using the method since he was 2 yrs old.  How and when did you start?  GD suggests AS YOUNG AS POSSIBLE approach.  From your sharing, it seems not really and all subject to the kids' interest and progress. No need rush and introduce such too early.

What is your view on this?

THANKS!

The method is like that:

You put the words you want to teach your kids in some cards.  You teach her five new cards every time and ask the kid to recognize and pronounce the words.  When the kid gets familiarized with the new words, you can add five more new cards.  But you still need to keep on revising the old cards for him.  The book mentions in detail on how to arrange the old cards for the kid's revision.

I myself have further modified this method a bit.  I have incorporated 全語文教學法 which is recently promoted by some Chinese educators.  In gist, I will teach my daughter a story (either through CDs or through my home tutor).  After my daughter can recite the story, I will select the words from the story and put them in the word cards.  That's how my daughter can recognize some high frequent but difficult words, like 還, 也....

My daughter is gaining confidence in Chinese.  In the past, she refused to read any Chinese story which she thought is too difficult.  But now she knows she can read the Chinese books by herself and she even requested to read one last night!!

Besides following the book of 胡雁, I am also teaching her 部首 in a systematic one.  I also teach her write Chinese sentences instead of just Chinese words.  She is gaining interest.  Last night, she requested me to buy her a Chinese writing pad, and this morning, she wrote half the pages out of her own initiative.  She can make up some simple sentences by herself, e.g. 我會拍球, 我吃水果.

My daughter is in ESF P1 (i.e. equivalent to K3 of local schools given her age), but I am sure that her Chinese reading level is above the standard of local schools P1.
