Other Resources

Hi Parents, This page will give you a list of websites or iPad Apps that you can download or check at home as extra resources for children to learn and practice Mandarin through different mediums. If I uploaded something new I will let you know, and if you need quick a couple of minutes tutorials as to how it works, I will provide them on Mondays and/or Thursdays after school, and Thursdays morning before school. Any questions, let me know!

We use this weekly in class to introduce new characters as well as looking at the stroke orders of the characters. You can simply input the characters (through copy pasting from our newsletter) or put in the pinyin with tones and find the correct character. It reads the characters to you, and the stroke orders as well. It also provides you with the radical of the characters.
