Mandarin Teaching Approach

After viewing the above video, YOU WILL NOTICE:

Total Conversational Approach

We do not concentrate on Cantonese PinYin 6 or 9 tones system, whereas we adopt “Total Conversational Approach” which is based on conversation, just like what you learned your native language. Only concentrating practicing conversations in class.

Eliminate Translation Process

so that the student learns to speak without hesitation and begins to think only in his or her new language. The speed of learning a spoken language is increased if the laborious mental process of translation is avoided. We teach the student to think in the language, helping to make speaking a reflex action.

100% Learning Experience

Our teaching approach facilitates students to speak at least 50% of time whilst teacher speaks the other 50%, resulting students practice Listening Skills at the same time. Speaking and Listening skills are the most important elements for students to learn and use in business and real life situations.
