How to Teach Hanyu Pinyin
School-study March 11th, 2010
During the term 1 Teachers-Parents meeting, the Chinese Teacher promoted this Hanyu Pinyin website to us. I believe this site is promoted in ALL Primary and Secondary Schools.
So for those of you who have kids in Kindergarten, and would like to give your child a head-start, you might want to try this out.

***Which has now changed to http://xuele.moe.edu.sg/
The kid is suppose to try to pronounce the word first and check his pronunciation by clicking on the word on the screen. Games are also available to promote interest in the subject. But from the video, you can tell that Keatkeat was ‘not‘ following the rules… *eyes rolled*
Oh well, so long as his interest in Hanyu Pinyin is still there (just look at his reaction in the end), I am happy.
And my 4 year old Binbin is getting great satisfaction from getting the answers correct. Love that Big Smile at the end.
Today, Keatkeat is having his Chinese Test and Maths Test. Yes, you heard me right. The teachers REFUSED to change the dates. *eyes rolled* Read this post and this post to know the complete story.
After giving some mock tests at home, I would NOT be surprise if Keatkeat fails his Chinese Test. *giggle* Well, let’s see if he is in guessing luck today then… *laugh*

This is a great site. During my meet-the-teacher session, the teacher also informed us parents about this site. It is very useful and Anthiea loves it =)
