CSL 1/2

Hello I am Kate, Chu Laoshi, your tutor for Level 1, Beginner and Level 2, Intermediate Mandarin Chinese classes.
I brought native Taiwanese journalistic writing and speaking skills, and Corporate America presentation experiences to our lessons. View my bio here. 

On the personal side, my multicultural family prepared me to coach you through this cross-cultural communication journey.

Sean is a Beginner class student. This is the first time he took Mandarin Chinese lessons. In his 12-week presentation, he said:
“I like to study Chinese, because I like to learn new languages and cultures.
I want to continue studying Chinese because I like my class, it is fun, and is delicious. I hope one day there are dumplings in the class.”

Beginner and Intermediate class students improvised a short story, unrehearsed:

Beginner class:
  • studied food items on the menu from the biggest chain restaurant in Taiwan: https://tinyurl.com/3f9m4jf6 (zip file 1)
  • After a 6.8-magnitude earthquake stroke Taiwan on September 18, 2022, students learned an Earthquake Safety PSA campaign: https://tinyurl.com/2p8wyd5v   (zip file 2)
Intermediate class:
  • first studied keywords, then watched a funny video to work on listening comprehension: https://tinyurl.com/ndrszbad  (zip file 3)
  • read lyrics composed by a UK-band about their Chinese learning experience: https://tinyurl.com/4x4wuvb8   (zip file 4)
  • studied lyrics of a 2021 award-winning song by a Taiwanese pop singer: https://tinyurl.com/23288unw (zip file 5)
