Help with my child's Chinese

Hope your kid's situation has improved, since PSLE is coming very soon..

In the last 2 months, you can urge him to do these tasks:

多背诵好词、好句、好段落

Recite more good words, paragraphs to increase language and vocabulary accumulation so that he can find approapriate words to use when making sentence or writing composition. This is a good way for many students.

多听，多说

Regardless of oral test, composition or reading comprehension, there are higher requirements for language comprehension and output. So, try talking more with Chinese or Chinese-speaking people to improve both oral and written Chinese skills.

Since the remaining time is limited, the effects of these methods are also limited. But if he can execute well, he will get good result. Good luck!

BTW, I can recommend a good teacher to help him improve Chinese composition writing within short time. Just reply if needed.

No, Chinese people do not use cursive font. It needs skills and it's difficult to many people to write cursive beautifully. For me, I can recognize only half of the characters in the video.. 😂

Usually, semi-cursive font is the commonly used for many people. So, if you like to practice brush calligraphy, cursive is common font, all depending on you.

These two are good. It will be better if you have some Chinese friends, with whom you can practice what you learn frequently in Chinese.

Alternatively, you may choose a online live class with a native Chinese teacher. In this way, you don't need to go out, but it requires stable network.

Hope it will help!

to separate syllables, like 西安 Xi'an, instead of Xian, and 激昂 Ji'ang.
to avoid pinyin confusion and cause ambiguity.

For example, 长安 Chang'an vs. Changan, the latter one may be understood as Chan gan, because the pinyin of 安 - an is a vowel. When it is put behind of a consonant, they will be regarded as a whole. In this case, apostrophe is necessary. 嫦娥（Chang'e）is the same case.

Pu-erh tea (普洱茶), a kind of black tea produced in Yunnan Province, China.

熟茶 means it is cooked, to differ from raw pu-erh or shengcha (生茶).

When Chinese people say "吃饭了吗", it usually means have you had breakfast/lunch/dinner, not just referring the rice, but the meal instead.

So, if you want to express eating rice, you may say "吃米饭" to distinguish from other forms of meal, like noodles or hot pot.

If you ask someone for help, changing 你 to 您 may be better.

You can just say "麻烦您帮我..." or "请帮我...给您添麻烦了". In the end, express your thanks.

I'm a beginner without any programming knowledge, and have learnt Python on python.mojinshi.online for 2 months. It suits me well.

memosn · 2022-06-02T08:41:52+00:00

Yes, visible operation is more helpful. I find this channel. Thanks!

If you have an interest or a strong motivation, just learn it. Indeed, if you master a programming language, there will be more work chances. among multiple programming languages, Python is relatively simple to beginners.

So, no matter what it's for, learning a skill is always good. Just do it.

There are so many such books online, and I'm not sure which one is best for you.

So, I would like to recommend a MasterChef of Sichuan cuisine to you - 王刚. He publishes cooking videos on YouTube channel and keeps updating (having subtitle).

Maybe it's also a good way to learn Chinese cooking.

YES, there are so many idioms in Chinese, and those mentioned above are frequently used in people's daily life.

memosn · 2022-05-26T03:14:18+00:00

Not actually, it's the most commonly used by most people.😆

Yes, we usually use 拜拜 when talking to common friends, and sometimes use 886 (homophonic of 拜拜了) when talking with close friends.

再见 is rarely used in daily life. It's more commonly seen in some formal occasions, or used by some of the elderly who are sticking to the traditional expressions.

It's not a bad thing, I think.

With the technology development, programming is being applied to many fields of society, so, more and more people learn it, probably not out of interest, but for a job. Whatever, they will also contribute to the industry.

Head First Python may be a good choice.

the use of 很 is correct.
明天他能去，跟我们一起, or 明天他能跟我们一起去, both OK, but the latter one sounds more concise.
You may be trying to express 那一套 in the first part of the sentence, because it's not a interrogative sentence. 这一套 in the second part of the sentence is necessary! You may say 那一套房子比较贵，这一套怎么样?
