敏浩，a clever boy who love thinking.He often puts forward a lot of problems which makes me staggered.After a few classes,I know how to face his problems.That's to pay more attention to the class
content in order to catch every knowledge point.Besides,preparing some fuuny supplementary materials are essential.I think he is very happy to learn more knowledge in Chinese class. I agree that
Chinese class is a life class.

Today I waiting for Saiaksh for about 30minutes because his mother is not sure for the class time,but it doesn't affect the class schedule. I change my teaching way by playing a game with Saiaksh to
make it more interesting to remind the word for him. I prepare some simple pictures drawn by me to let him guess the word and conbine the word have learned last class with the new word.It is a useful
way.He master the word learned for a period of time better than the latest word.And this time he is also easy to feel boring during class,I think maybe I should try some more funny way to attract
him. Hope to do better next time.

TV, but she wouldn't watch everyday for the reason that she wants to protect her eyes. She is so smart, isn't she？

In today's Chinese Skype Class, 马布 showed me her "huge" books, Biology and University Physics. Reading lots of books, She always rubs her eyes because of eyestrain. I am worried that she will be
tired for learning so many subjects. However, she told she loves study which is one of her hobbys.
马布 is a wonder child. But she isn't conceited and arrogant about her intelligence at all. Instead, she is so cute and energetic. In today's Chinese Skype Class, her mum said to Mabou, "you are a
baby, baby Mabou". Then they hugged each other tightly. Can you imagine that scene?
I'm so lucky and proud of being Mabou's Chinese teacher.

possible , which is highly important in any Skype Chinese Class.

Jashwant's Skype Chinese Class didn't go well today. One of the reasons was that his connection was not very good, so the Skype Chinese Class was interrupted a few times. The other reason was Miss
Huang , his teacher was not quite familair and confident in teaching this Skype Chinese Class. She needs to do more preparation for her next Skype Chinese Class.

When I first saw Mabou in today's Skype Chinese Class, she was in the car on the way home after visiting her aunt. I asked whether they went to the restaurant, while Mabou told me SHE cooked the
meal!! Yeah, herself! She shocked me again, totally.

surprised to know that his school bus was late and that's why . She even said it's quite often for school buses to arrive late in Bangalore. If he doesn't get online for his Skype Chinese Class next

Today's Skype Chinese Class is my first time to teach the student, maybe it's my fault to recognize her, I say several word she don't understand, and my expression is not so good for her to get it.
Finnally I know I should pay more attention to the personality of the student, and more importantly, learn how to explain something in simple way is what I should try.I may do better in next Skype
Chinese Class.

Skype Chinses class question time again:How do you say "cousin" in Chinese?Would it be “同辈亲戚” or “堂表兄弟姐妹” or something like that? one Skype Chinese class student asked?When the book mentions
“cousin", I really do need to figure out just which “cousin" this person is. There's really no way around it.It depends if he or she , older or younger, from your mother's side or father's side. More
of culture thing than a word . Good to know in Skype Chinese Class.

Some curture from Skype Chinese class :Why do English speakers and many other (non-Mandarin speaking) people use the word “Hong Kong” which is neither from Cantonese nor Hakka, and in fact, of
obscure and uncertain origin?
The transliteration “Hong Kong” did not come from the Cantonese pronunciation (a common misunderstanding). This is for sure when we take our Skype Chinese classes.The accurate Cantonese
transliteration (based on the Canton/Guangzhou dialect) should be something like “Heung Kong” or “Heung Gong”. As a matter of fact, Cantonese was not even so widely used in Hong Kong as it is today a
few decades ago (after the Hong Kong 1967 leftist riots, Cantonese began to gain the more or less official status under the British colonial administration).
Some say “Hong Kong” was based on the accent of the Chinese coastal-river people called 蜑民 (Tanka people) - who were not a distinct ethnic group but more like a environmentally- and
culturally-segregated group.

Skype Chinese classes question :Why do I need some time when reading Chinese characters to recognise the words?
Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about how long it takes for you to recognize words, the fact that you can recognize them is important. Your speed of recognition will increase as you become more used to
reading Chinese characters in your Skype Chinese classes.
Think of when you were a child learning how to read English, you couldn’t read anywhere near as fast as you can read nowadays. The speed increased as you became familiar with the written language,
sentence structure and a wider field of vocabulary. Don’t sweat it, all good things take time.
As I mentioned, if you want to increase your reading speed, then the only thing for you to do is read more! One of things I do to help improve my reading is that I worked with tianchinesehome with
some Skype Chinese Classes, which really helps.

Skype Chinese Class question: Why do people call Chinese language "Mandarin "? Great question for our Skype Chinese class. Well , her is the history:Because this is a word originally from the
Portuguese missionaries and businessmen that first got in touch with China (Ming Dynasty).
It was derived from the Portuguese word “mandarim/mandarin” which specifically meant Chinese imperial officials. It was also used to refer to the more or less “standardized” dialect that these
officials need to speak in order to smoothly work in the government..
#245
Tian(Saturday, 24 June 2017 03:41)
Skype Chinese Class question continuesd:The Chinese counterpart of the word kept the essence of the term: 官话, which literally means “officials’ dialect/language”.
Today, the official spoken dialect/language in China is called PuTongHua (“common dialect/language”), and the wide use of the term “Mandarin” is simply an old habit that dies hard (and really does
not really have to die anyways).Know more with tianchinesehome Skype Chinese class

Top question for today's Skype Chinese class:Why does China have more than one Chinese language?the theory is that the original Chinese language started around the Yellow river, and then migrated all
over the Eastern China. Just like Latin evolved into Spanish, Italian, French, Romanian etc, the Chinese language evolved into several different languages. They do share a lot of the characteristics
but the writings tend to differ a bit in grammar and how the syntax is constructed though they share similar characters. Just like Spanish and Italian both use Latin scripts. Useful basics to learn
from Skype Chinese class.

Top question for Skype Chinese class:Why do Chinese people like to use the round table to have meals? It's mainly because "circle" is one of the most significant keywords in Chinese history, such as
“天圆地方”（round sky and square earth) and “团圆”（reunion), which means Chinese people like to share things and live in harmony. Using the round table，people can share the cuisine together and talk to each
other happily. What's more, the round table sinifies a harmonious and happy family. "Circle" has a beginning and an end, which represents wealth won't go away. It meet the geomantic omen in China.

Today, let's talk about some rules of eating when chinese people have a meal. In China, chinese people sit around a round table(圆桌) and eat together with family members. When having meals, we should
seat by age sequence, the elders and guests have priority to sit. Forieigners use knife and fork but chinese use chopsticks and spoon to eat food. People should pick up their chopsticks until the
elders begin to eat. Then the important thing is that people are not allowed to put the chopsticks pointing to others and stab your chopsticks into your bowl of rice, which are unpolite manners.
Because placing tow chopsticks down in a bowl of rice is what happen at a funeral. What's more, it is rude to leave food in your bowl when you finish your dinner. And the food is in a common plate,
so we should use a communal chopsticks and can't pick the food piece by piece in the plate, just pick up the first you have touched. This skype chinese class introduces some simple rules of eating,

recently stayed with him in the US for about six months, but they never picked up the ability to sound out Latin characters. Since that they’d already learned 7000+ chars, I’d think that another 20

What is your great advice on Skype Chinese class?Reading poems are a great hep in Skype Chinese class.First , the tone arrangement, rhythm and pace in poems are very strict but very common in daily
use, thus by mastering the reading of poem, the learner can have a better internalization of the tones and pace when they are actually speaking to others.
Second, there are a lot of allusions in Chinese poems and they are actually used a lot in daily life (kind of like quoting Shakespear or Chaussier all the time..). Without learning in Chinese poems,
learners may encounter many barriers when communicating with Chinese (you may understand every element in the talking and get the obvious meanings but not able to get the indications).

Today is my first time to give the Skype Chinese Class to 小杰. I'm glad we both have a "杰" in our names that bring our relationship closer. 小杰 is a smart kid, he learned the content this class very
well so we finished our class ahead of time. He also takes notes in class, which surprised me. In the latter class, I will prepare more and slow down my speaking speed so that he have more time to
understand what I am saying. I hope we can both learn something from each other.

Today is my second time to have Skype Chinese Class with 小杰. Children’s Day just passed, I told him that I'm already 20 years old, and my mother still gave me a Children’s Day present. And then he
shared with me that he got a gift from his grandfather too. No matter how old we are, we are children in the eyes of our parents and grandparents.
In today’s class, I know more about 小杰, he knows a lot more than I thought, he prefers learning Chinese through playing games and he likes to be praised. Now, he is not good at using “的地得”， I’m going
to focus on this part next time.
#457
尹杰桢(Tuesday, 12 June 2018 09:02)
The Skype Chinese Class on Sunday, we reviewed the contents of Lesson One and Lesson Two. 小杰 well remember the pronunciation and the meaning of the words, but can't remember the font of the words
very well.(He can't read the words without Pinyin) I should prepare more exercises or games to help him read the words.
I had prepared an difficult but important exercise about “的地得” for the class, but there was not enough time for us to do it. I will put this exercise in the next class, and hope this exercise will
help 小杰 better understand the usage of “的地得”.
The next class is in Dragon Boat Festival, hope we have a happy class at that day.

Today, It's my first class for 关健益。 Though I can't see him through the screen, I can hear his brisk voice. He is really a smart and cute boy.
At the begining, I can't share my screen with 关健益， he waited for me patiently and we thought the problem was on his phone, so he switched to a computer, but it didn't work. In the end, I could only
send him the doc, what we was going to learn, and then we learn it together .
A small part of the Test 7 was completed in the last class, and I thought it would be all done, but there was still a small part of it left undone. In the next class, I will arrange the time more
reasonable and teach 关健益 some more useful expression in Chinese.

马布 is a clever girl who can acquire all words and sentences quickly in Skype Chinese Class. Today, we talked about job. She showed me some pictures and said she didn't want to be a enginer or worker.

吴娟苹 (Tuesday, 10 May 2016 06:58)
What I learn from this skype Chinese class is being patient whether your student come or not. Gratefully, 白莲 came to study in the end, but she showed a little interest. Maybe I should change my way of teaching in skype Chinese class, which can attract her more attention to my class.
陈小滨 (Tuesday, 10 May 2016 15:11)

那威 is a very clever boy.However,In today's Skype Chinese Class,I find that he has forgotten many words that he learned before.So I think he probably isn't focused enough in the class.Now I hope that I can make him more relaxed in Skype Chinese Class,so that he can find the enjoyment of learning Chinese.

On yesterday's Skype Chinese Class，it was the third time I taken a lesson on line with 白蘭.

On Saturday morning,I played a game with 白鷺 in Skype Chinese Class . I drew pictures in my blackboard and then 白鷺 guessed what the Chinese characters are. In that moment,白鷺 was so interested that she took her paper out wanting me to guess.As for me she was very enjored the game.Importantly, she can learned some easy Chineese characters through game in Skype Chinese Class. The pity of this Skype Chinese Class was that we spent too much time in this game, 白鷺 could not learn more examination questions seriously .I hope I can do it better in next time.
黄幼萍 (Wednesday, 18 May 2016 07:09)
Today I waiting for Saiaksh for about 30minutes because his mother is not sure for the class time,but it doesn't affect the class schedule. I change my teaching way by playing a game with Saiaksh to make it more interesting to remind the word for him. I prepare some simple pictures drawn by me to let him guess the word and conbine the word have learned last class with the new word.It is a useful way.He master the word learned for a period of time better than the latest word.And this time he is also easy to feel boring during class,I think maybe I should try some more funny way to attract him. Hope to do better next time.

I was so disappointed and upset that one of the tutors was late for Today's Skype Chinese Class for The Berates sisiters. They are getting more and more intersted, but Lyall's tutor was late and didn't have the class due to some connection problem for Skype Chinese Class.
More reposibilities are needed for being a professional , especially for Skype Chinese Class.

Today's Skype Chinese Class may be the funniest class. At first, after calling 马布 for couple minutes, I was a little worried that 马布 wouldn't show up in today's Skype Chinese Class. She told me that it was because of the other class. Fortunately, we didn't be affected by the delay. She shows me her talent every moment. I was shocked and surprised that she can sing so many Chinese songs such as 小苹果，and 水调歌头 （a Song Ci Poetry）. Besides, 马布 is also good at jingle. What a marvellous and intelligent girl!! So in today's Skype Chinese Class, we do really have a good time.

I am surprised that 傅洋 has 4 IDs of Skype.When I call him in Tian-trainer 2 before class,sometimes I send the same greetings to two or more IDs.I think he is a "大头虾".We continued to learn the new words of the lesson 11 in today's Skype Chinese Class.When we learn the word "喝酒",he askded me can a seven boy in China to buy wines.I say no banned in accordance with the law.He is very surprised.He told me that before the age of 21, drinking alcohol is illegal in USA.He said he haven't drunk a bottle of red wine until now.Because he is only 17 years old now.Hahaha~~The tone is really helpless.

张雪玲 (Saturday, 28 May 2016 14:50)
In today's Chinese Skype Class, 马布 showed me her "huge" books, Biology and University Physics. Reading lots of books, She always rubs her eyes because of eyestrain. I am worried that she will be tired for learning so many subjects. However, she told she loves study which is one of her hobbys.
马布 is a wonder child. But she isn't conceited and arrogant about her intelligence at all. Instead, she is so cute and energetic. In today's Chinese Skype Class, her mum said to Mabou, "you are a baby, baby Mabou". Then they hugged each other tightly. Can you imagine that scene?
I'm so lucky and proud of being Mabou's Chinese teacher.

Professor Tian (Tuesday, 31 May 2016 16:15)
Jashwant's Skype Chinese Class didn't go well today. One of the reasons was that his connection was not very good, so the Skype Chinese Class was interrupted a few times. The other reason was Miss Huang , his teacher was not quite familair and confident in teaching this Skype Chinese Class. She needs to do more preparation for her next Skype Chinese Class.
张雪玲 (Tuesday, 31 May 2016 17:13)
When I first saw Mabou in today's Skype Chinese Class, she was in the car on the way home after visiting her aunt. I asked whether they went to the restaurant, while Mabou told me SHE cooked the meal!! Yeah, herself! She shocked me again, totally.
In today's Skype Chinese Class, we talked about transport and travel. So I showed her the picture of Tian'an Men Square and Guangzhou. Mabou said she wants to come to China but in a few years. I hope that she can speak Chinese fluently when she come to China.

When I wish her a happy Children's day tomorrow, it's surprised she told me that they have no children's day. In Skype Chinese Class, she always repeat my words several times. Generally speaking,she is a lively girl. Really lively. I like her very much. But I'm sorry that we have no enough time to play games in Skype Chinese Class.

Gabriel was absent for his Skype Chinese Class. Recently he was very punctual, so it was strange that he did appear for his Skype Chinese Class. I emailed his mom to find out what happened and was surprised to know that his school bus was late and that's why . She even said it's quite often for school buses to arrive late in Bangalore. If he doesn't get online for his Skype Chinese Class next time, that's why.
Professor Tian (Thursday, 02 June 2016 10:16)

黄幼萍 (Friday, 03 June 2016 07:05)
Today's Skype Chinese Class is my first time to teach the student, maybe it's my fault to recognize her, I say several word she don't understand, and my expression is not so good for her to get it. Finnally I know I should pay more attention to the personality of the student, and more importantly, learn how to explain something in simple way is what I should try.I may do better in next Skype Chinese Class.
赵燕红 (Tuesday, 07 June 2016 02:03)

It was the first time that I gave my lessons in Skype Chinese Class. In today's Skype Chinese Class, I taught 玛丽亚 Pinyin.

Skype Chinses class question time again:How do you say "cousin" in Chinese?Would it be “同辈亲戚” or “堂表兄弟姐妹” or something like that? one Skype Chinese class student asked?When the book mentions “cousin", I really do need to figure out just which “cousin" this person is. There's really no way around it.It depends if he or she , older or younger, from your mother's side or father's side. More of culture thing than a word . Good to know in Skype Chinese Class.
李婷 (Sunday, 11 June 2017 15:52)
Last minutes of today's Skype Chinses class,白洁 told me to wait for her suddenly,i thought she just used the bathroom. Then i were so surprised that she showed me her new pet-a rabbit!It is lovely!I am enjoy the Skype Chinses class with 白洁 all the time.

Skype Chinese class top question for today: why do I learn Chinese? Mandarin is like music! The rise and fall of the words with their tones causes the same reaction in my brain and heart that the rise and fall of musical notes gives me. English, my native language, is full of nuances and subtleties, but when I hear spoken Mandarin, it's so lovely.So Mandarin in skype Chinese class and my music class connrespond so well!

In today's Skype Chinese Class,I just realized that they are not Slovenian,but Armenian.Oh,I am so careless.
Tian (Thursday, 22 June 2017 09:08)
Some curture from Skype Chinese class :Why do English speakers and many other (non-Mandarin speaking) people use the word “Hong Kong” which is neither from Cantonese nor Hakka, and in fact, of obscure and uncertain origin?
The transliteration “Hong Kong” did not come from the Cantonese pronunciation (a common misunderstanding). This is for sure when we take our Skype Chinese classes.The accurate Cantonese transliteration (based on the Canton/Guangzhou dialect) should be something like “Heung Kong” or “Heung Gong”. As a matter of fact, Cantonese was not even so widely used in Hong Kong as it is today a few decades ago (after the Hong Kong 1967 leftist riots, Cantonese began to gain the more or less official status under the British colonial administration).
Some say “Hong Kong” was based on the accent of the Chinese coastal-river people called 蜑民 (Tanka people) - who were not a distinct ethnic group but more like a environmentally- and culturally-segregated group.
Tian (Thursday, 22 June 2017 09:16)
Skype Chinese classes question :Why do I need some time when reading Chinese characters to recognise the words?
Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about how long it takes for you to recognize words, the fact that you can recognize them is important. Your speed of recognition will increase as you become more used to reading Chinese characters in your Skype Chinese classes.
Think of when you were a child learning how to read English, you couldn’t read anywhere near as fast as you can read nowadays. The speed increased as you became familiar with the written language, sentence structure and a wider field of vocabulary. Don’t sweat it, all good things take time.

Skype Chinese Class question: Why do people call Chinese language "Mandarin "? Great question for our Skype Chinese class. Well , her is the history:Because this is a word originally from the Portuguese missionaries and businessmen that first got in touch with China (Ming Dynasty).
It was derived from the Portuguese word “mandarim/mandarin” which specifically meant Chinese imperial officials. It was also used to refer to the more or less “standardized” dialect that these officials need to speak in order to smoothly work in the government..
Tian (Saturday, 24 June 2017 03:41)
Skype Chinese Class question continuesd:The Chinese counterpart of the word kept the essence of the term: 官话, which literally means “officials’ dialect/language”.
Today, the official spoken dialect/language in China is called PuTongHua (“common dialect/language”), and the wide use of the term “Mandarin” is simply an old habit that dies hard (and really does not really have to die anyways).Know more with tianchinesehome Skype Chinese class

Top question for today's Skype Chinese class:Why does China have more than one Chinese language?the theory is that the original Chinese language started around the Yellow river, and then migrated all over the Eastern China. Just like Latin evolved into Spanish, Italian, French, Romanian etc, the Chinese language evolved into several different languages. They do share a lot of the characteristics but the writings tend to differ a bit in grammar and how the syntax is constructed though they share similar characters. Just like Spanish and Italian both use Latin scripts. Useful basics to learn from Skype Chinese class.

Answer 2:No. You'll be able to communicate in written “Chinese” well enough with the benefit of context, but the vast majority of people will find it so awkward as to be dramatically inefficient for most workplace communication needs.
Your work efficiency and their work efficiency will suffer, and no one will be happy.

Top question for Skype Chinese class:Is it enough to just learn pinyin to work in Mainland China?Here are the answers from my Skype Chinese classes students who take Chinese SKype lessons at www.tianchinesehome.com.

Welcome to Skype Chinese Class. Do you know the differences between Cantonese and Mandarin? It is well-known that Cantonese is mainly spoken in Guangdong Province, especially in Guangzhou and Hongkong. There is nine tones in Cantonese, while Mandarin only has four tones. Accordingly, learning Cantonese has more complicated requirements. In fact, Cantonese is regarded as a dialect in China.

Perhaps the phonetic concept itself is difficult.But the real answer is that when they grew up , they used a quite different system to learn to pronunce the characters. It was only until in the 60s of the last century people started to use Pinyin.

What is your great advice on Skype Chinese class?Reading poems are a great hep in Skype Chinese class.First , the tone arrangement, rhythm and pace in poems are very strict but very common in daily use, thus by mastering the reading of poem, the learner can have a better internalization of the tones and pace when they are actually speaking to others.
Second, there are a lot of allusions in Chinese poems and they are actually used a lot in daily life (kind of like quoting Shakespear or Chaussier all the time..). Without learning in Chinese poems, learners may encounter many barriers when communicating with Chinese (you may understand every element in the talking and get the obvious meanings but not able to get the indications).
陈娜红 (Monday, 18 September 2017 16:13)
On today'sSkype Chinese Class,I am so sad about the situation that there was something wrong with the internet.Lin Shan called me many times and we successfullly had the class in five minutes later.We talk about knowledge of the weather,such as sunny,rainny,windy and cloudy.I hope she csn do a better job in future's class.She was absent minded in today 's Chinese Class.
陈娜红 (Monday, 18 September 2017 16:24)

陈娜红 (Friday, 22 September 2017 03:28)
In today's Skype Chinese Class,I found 林珊 was absent minded,so I tried my best to attract her attention.We talk about her three cats,her favourite color,and so on.She became back on our class.I think it is a better way to have our Skype Chinese Class and to teach our students well.
陈娜红 (Friday, 29 September 2017 08:01)
I really enjoy today's Skype Chinese Class with林珊,and she did a very good job today.At the begin,she quite a little upset,so I asked her to draw a red apple and show me.After that,she focused our Skype Chinese Class again.Today we learned some new words about skill,such as 画画，唱歌 ，跳舞。She enjoyed those things and learned them well.
We also learned a phrase :今天你真棒!

林菁桦 (Sunday, 15 October 2017 04:45)
It is my second time to have class with 小杰. What surprised me that at the begging of the class he was eating chips. Maybe he was hungry at that time. In the class, we watched two videos and 小杰 can better understand new words. We also learn a new sentence pattern and 小杰can use it in the exercise. Although there are more to learn in Skype Chinese Class, he tried his best to type, read and write. Wish he could review after class. We can better understand each other. That’s today’s Skype Chinese Class for 小杰.
麦雯君 (Monday, 16 October 2017 17:37)
I am so happy for yesterday's Skype Chinese lesson. Althought Jahzara was absent-minded from time to time, she still sat before the computer and followed my step. At the last ten minutes, she shared her screen to me and sang a song to me. She really likes singing and really want someone can listen to her. She is happy and enjoyed sharing with others. So it is not so surprised that she did't want to over the class. Learn Chinese Sktpe gives Jahzara a chance to share, and I am so happy she can share with me.

In Skype Chinese Class, 小杰 shows the great interest of the story画蛇添足.He can read the story fluently except some words he can’t understand. Still, he didn’t finish his writing homework.

Today 小杰 is quite absorbed in Skype Chinese Class.Though he was eating a lollipop,he could read the passage and answer my qiestions. We reviewed the words and the sentence pattern.

I enjoy today's Skype Chinese Class and I hope 小杰 will keep the passion in class.
黄铭蔚 (Sunday, 19 November 2017 09:55)
It is the first time for me to give 杰斯特 the Skype Chinese Class. I am a little nervous but I make my effort to teach him. He is quiet and often did not answer my questions. But luckily, he liked to say "yeah'' so that I knew he was there. Unfortunately, I suddenly couldn't hear him in my headphone and then I called him again and we could continue the class. I hope 杰斯特 can give more passion to the Skype Chinese Class and I will try my best to teach him.
林菁桦 (Tuesday, 21 November 2017 04:29)
I am so sorry for my late last class and today I said sorry to 小杰.Thanks for his understanding and I will never make the mistake. Today 小杰 is tired and the class's process is much slower than before.One reason is his poor mental state another is we learn on Skype Chinese Class after two weeks that he forgot the knowledge. We did homework together and learned the reading part. Everything will be fine and I hope 小杰will enjoy himself in Skype Chinese Class.
黄铭蔚 (Tuesday, 21 November 2017 15:56)

I taught some words about courses and weather in today's Skype Chinese Class. I am happy that 杰斯特 answered some of my questions eventually. But it is a pity that he used English to answer my quesyions. I think maybe he cannot understand what I said in Chinese. I hope both of us can make progress in Skype Chinese Class.

Today is my first time to give the Skype Chinese Class to 小杰. I'm glad we both have a "杰" in our names that bring our relationship closer. 小杰 is a smart kid, he learned the content this class very well so we finished our class ahead of time. He also takes notes in class, which surprised me. In the latter class, I will prepare more and slow down my speaking speed so that he have more time to understand what I am saying. I hope we can both learn something from each other.

Today is my second time to have Skype Chinese Class with 小杰. Children’s Day just passed, I told him that I'm already 20 years old, and my mother still gave me a Children’s Day present. And then he shared with me that he got a gift from his grandfather too. No matter how old we are, we are children in the eyes of our parents and grandparents.
In today’s class, I know more about 小杰, he knows a lot more than I thought, he prefers learning Chinese through playing games and he likes to be praised. Now, he is not good at using “的地得”， I’m going to focus on this part next time.

The Skype Chinese Class on Sunday, we reviewed the contents of Lesson One and Lesson Two. 小杰 well remember the pronunciation and the meaning of the words, but can't remember the font of the words very well.(He can't read the words without Pinyin) I should prepare more exercises or games to help him read the words.
I had prepared an difficult but important exercise about “的地得” for the class, but there was not enough time for us to do it. I will put this exercise in the next class, and hope this exercise will help 小杰 better understand the usage of “的地得”.
The next class is in Dragon Boat Festival, hope we have a happy class at that day.

Today, It's my first class for 关健益。 Though I can't see him through the screen, I can hear his brisk voice. He is really a smart and cute boy.
At the begining, I can't share my screen with 关健益， he waited for me patiently and we thought the problem was on his phone, so he switched to a computer, but it didn't work. In the end, I could only send him the doc, what we was going to learn, and then we learn it together .
A small part of the Test 7 was completed in the last class, and I thought it would be all done, but there was still a small part of it left undone. In the next class, I will arrange the time more reasonable and teach 关健益 some more useful expression in Chinese.
