This teacher's excellent! I'm starting to teach Chinese to English speaking kids and this teacher's way of starting is thought-provoking! Thank you for sharing!
IN MY OPINION, THIS IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO TEACH A LANGUAGE. SO WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT IT? 1. IT'S TOTAL IMMERSION: THERE'S PRACTICALLY NO ENGLISH BEING SPOKEN. THE TEACHER DIDN'T REALLY NEED TO ELICIT THE MEANING OF THE CHINESE WORDS IN ENGLISH. THE STUDENTS WOULD HAVE FIGURED THAT OUT THEMSELVES. 2. HAVING THROWN THE STUDENTS IN AT THE DEEP END, HE USES GESTURES TO ENSURE THEY DON'T DROWN. EXCELLENT. 3. HE'S REPEATING A LOT. EXCELLENT. 4. HE'S INVOLVING THE STUDENT. THE STUDENTS ARE USING CHINESE WORDS FROM DAY ONE. HOW GOOD IS THAT? I WOULD GO AS FAR AS TO SAY THAT 99% OF THE MANDARIN COURSES ON RU-vid ARE A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. THE TEACHING METHODS USED ARE VERY POOR AND SHOW THAT THE HOSTS/TEACHERS HAVE VERY LITTLE UNDERSTANDING OF LANGUAGE LEARNING. I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE TEACHERS OF SUCH COURSES ARE MORE INTERESTED IN SHOWING OFF THEIR ENGLISH SKILLS THAN TEACHING MANDARIN.
This method is nothing new. The problem with this method is that it takes ages to learn a language this way. Usually you don't have that much time when you're trying to learn your second and third language.
The warmup that the teacher used was exellent to start a new subject and breaking the ice even they learnt new expressions before starting the lesson. That is how a class should start
OMG，it's so fun to watch that.I have been learning English for a long time,And I always want to know how it'll look like if other people learn my native language .He is a great teacher,for real!
Really love this approach,aiming at high school teenagers ! high engagement and interaction with the students make sure that they actually follow the class
+Henri Mogaroo Why not? If the teacher is good, they should be able to teach the class in the target language while making sure that the students are learning and using the target language along the way.
+Donez Horton-Bailey i know an app which named "Ehuayu ", you can search it in the appstore, it's very helpful for my chinese learning, you can download one and try it.
There are many factors in studying Mandarin quickly . One place I discovered that successfully combines these is the Magic Mandarin Blueprint (look for it on google) without a doubt the best treatment that I have ever heard of. Look at all the interesting information .
I like that he repeats the phases to death. Lol I need repetition. Also he does a lot of hand movements that help decode the words. Bravo. I need this class
Hi, I am Korean and I I study Chinese living in Toronto, Canada. I tried to help my son to learn Chinese so that he can introduce himself in Chinese. We are making some videos but not easy. Thanks for your great videos. 😀
Hi, I am also a Chinese teacher who's still learning how to teach. This video is really helpful! I have a little question though, if this is the first class for beginners, I would assume the students didn't have any prior knowledge of Chinese, so how can they write down the words they hear? Or, what are they writing down? Only the English translation, pinyin, or any phonetic symbol that help them remember the sound? Thanks!
@@11kwright What he said was right. qi3li4 (起立) is the standard way to say it when you ask students to stand up from their seats. It's a different word from qi3lai2 (起来).
I would at least like an introduction in English and an explanation of Chinese being a tonal language and the different tones.. does he ever speak in English? Or is it one of them it's in the book teachers ?
Is this the first day of class? I am thinking about taking Chinese this semester at my local Community College. I am a non-traditional college student. 69-years-old! 😯
Hi, really really nice, I would like to know the name of this school and teacher. I want to travel to china and learn chinese. PLEASE THE NAME AND ADRESS OF THIS SCHOOL
Damn good teacher though, even if the pronunciation is minutely off. He's not spoken any English yet he's communicating and getting them to understand. Love it inspire of 1% not perfect. Who's perfect anyway. Great teacher and loving his classes.
I am native Chinese and also fluent in English, but my Japanese is poor so I would like to learn Japanese, anyone interested? I am in Tokyo, also can teach anyone who wants to learn Chinese or English.
If you want, I can teach you Chinese. I star learning Japanese by myself, we can help each other. But to be honest, I think Japanese is really difficult😕…As a Chinese, some Chinese characters in Japanese i can understood, but Katakana It's really hard.😵
Not necessarily from mainland China. It's common to learn Chinese in any accent without stepping one foot in the mainland and having a profound deep respect for traditional characters. I learned "standard" putonghua in Texas and learned simplified, but now I write and read mostly traditional characters. People assume I'm Taiwanese or from Hong Kong, but I'm simply a sinologist born and raised in Texas.
Hi, do you know where is this teacher teaching right now? Does he have a youtube account teaching Chinese? (asking for my husband who is struggling in Chinese at the moment)Thx :)
@@mengyaojia6525 He has a RU-vid channel but he doesn’t teach Chinese on it. It does, however, showcase the Chinese program at Skyridge High School. Here it is: youtube.com/@SkyridgeChinese?si=OT3_uEJviq-SF6FX
