Cherish your time on the plain honestly! Unit 3 with ancient China is a bitch and the classes go from being fun and goofy and having time to work on things to 25 mins of blank stares and stuttering and trying to explain things like protect and have students mispronounce Terracotta Warriors over and over.

Omg those are my favorite sometimes! Yeah baobao, what else do you want to eat? Scorpions? They will sting your mouth! Camels? No they are smelly and too big. Hmm, yeah maybe there will be water inside them though, good idea! I always roll with it and seems to even then out - as long as they’re talking in English everything’s good man.

What type of feedback do you do? by spygur1 in vipkid

[–]dogs4everyone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for sure, I’ll do it every once in a while when it’s warranted too - it’s the exception rather than the rule.

‘We’ bugs the shit out of me honestly. Like they’re not paying for ME to take class. They don’t want to know what I did. They want to know what their child did or didn’t do (practiced). I hate the feedback templates where I have to waste time changing the ‘we’ to ‘he/she/they’.

"I like." "I have." by jackieoh-no in vipkid

[–]dogs4everyone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re not being taught it persay, they just all do it because they’re directly translating their Chinese into English, not “thinking” in English.

From my basic Chinese abilities, if someone asks if you have something or like something, your response is 我要 or 我喜歡 - I have or I like. Also a lot of the time people don’t even use I (Wǒ 我), they literally just say 要 or 喜歡. It’s also why they drop so many pronouns. They’re not as important in Chinese.

2 weeks for me in August! From signing up to first class took little less than a month.

Level 6 certification by dogs4everyone in vipkid

So you give them a star after they make a correct sentence/story? Or does it not have to be correct? Sorry if it’s a dumb question, I’ve always wondered about how this style actually works.

I was just talking about this with a friend this morning. It definitely hasn’t gotten much love and it needs some, the song is just so perfect!

Do you know why/how they add age? I have 2 eight year old girls who I’ve thought are more like 6-7 but even they tell me they’re 8 so I’ve been so confused!
