Day 9 (八月十日)

你们好!

Intelligence, tongue twisters, and creativity fueled day 9 at Startalk. We had a great day of immersion into the Chinese language and culture, once again.

Level 1 students learned how to introduce themselves and others today. They practiced asking each other about family, friends, and professions . They understood how to describe things you "have" and "don't have," and also how to communicate doing something "together" with a friend or family member. They continued to practice their dance and song for the closing ceremony; then they played a review game that practiced their character memorization skills.

Level 2 students tackled a particular difficult grammar section today. They learned the use and significance of the "ba" particle in a sentence. "Ba" (把)refers to the result of an action but it is difficult to know where and when to use the structure. Ask your student to explain the particle to you and see if they know the function of ba. ;) Level 2 practiced their skills by creating and challenging each other with riddles. They also discussed business slogans and lyrics to songs for the commercial displaying their product.

Not your typical review activity! Having fun in level 2:)

Finally, students were delighted to continue their painting practice with the wonderful level 1 TA, Ding Laoshi! They practiced painting flowers and bamboo and much more! Their skills are definitely improving : )






明天见!
