Mandarin

At the start of the year, we were given a list of optional enrichment classes to choose from like Kindermusik, Phonics, English speech and drama or Mandarin Speech and drama.
If only we print money, I would have sign him up for most of them since they are spread out over the weekdays for 1 hour during their lesson time.
Since Mandarin is always the killer subject for all school going kids.. i signed him up for Mandarin speech and drama since we mainly converse with him in English.
Which cost me $170 per term.
Lately, I have seen vast improvement in him. He will practice his chinese strokes at home like "heng", 'Shu" "pia" "na".
Had a chat with his Mandarin teacher to find out what I should do or teach him at home. She advise that for N2, we can relax a lil' as they are still learning basic strokes. So no worries if he still can't write any characters..
