NSCCSL-TEENS-WELCOME TO MY CLASS

Hello everyone,

Greetings from Tianyi, a second-year graduate student from Vanderbilt Peabody college. Thank you for enrolling in Nashville Chinese School and coming to my class in the new semester. During this semester, I hope all of you will actively engage in my class. Although you are here for learning Mandarin Chinese, our target is not limited to the language itself. We will not only focus on improving our language proficiency, but also having a deeper understanding of Chinese traditional cultures and philosophies. In this process, we will explore the historical development and background knowledge of each radical and character together. Also, if some of you are interested in Chinese calligraphy or painting, we could talk more about these topics in class or after class.

The syllabus for this semester has been posted by email. This is just th first draft of our syllabus because the specific contents would be adjusted according to your interests and learning progress. If you have any problems, please do not hesitat to contact me. My email address is tianyi.chu@vanderbilt.edu. My number is 615-638-3445. 

Also, I have to apologize that I cannot come in the first class (August 10). Tony Zhao would be the substitute teacher for the first class. Looking forward to seeing all of you on August 17. Thank you!

Dear parents and students, 新年快乐！Happy Chinese New Year! This week we learned the first two paragraphs of The Phantom of The Opera. All of you got a Chinese version of the lyrics. I hope you can watch the Chinese version again and try to pronounce the rest of the lyrics.  Next week we will continue to learn Chapter 2 about family members. Please preview the text on page 8 and think about how to introduce your family. I understand that because of the culture differences, the names in Chinese and English have slightly differences, which may increase the difficulty to memorize them. Next week, I want to invite you to explore the differences related to family between eastern and western ideology.  Besides, since this week we did not have enough time to go over the knowledge about numbers, we will take an oral quiz at the beginning of the next class. Hope all of you can review the previous knowledge and prepare for the quiz. Thank you! Best, Tianyi   ...

Hi everyone, Last Saturday we learned chapter 16 My Room, including the key words, the text, radicals, and prefix and suffix in Chinese. Please remember to review all of these before next Saturday. Next week, we will continue watching the YouTube video and discussing the differences between traditional Chinese and western furniture. Homework: Please finish the exercises on the workbook (Page 124-128) and don't forget to bring your homework next class! For some students who do not have the workbook, I attached the scan document here. Thank you! For those students who were absent several times, please remember to check my blog and use the online tools to do self-learning to catch up with other classmates! Looking forward to seeing you next Saturday!
