weLearn Newsletter – July 2009

June has come to an end, yet it marks the beginning of the putting to use of new learned skills. We spent June sharing famous poems from the Tang Dynasty, learning new words, practicing dialogues and songs, telling Chinese stories, and interacting with fun games. We learned how to digest, decipher, and even translate paragraphs in both English and Chinese. In understanding and being able to translate poems, stories, and paragraphs, students further increase their knowledge about Chinese culture and their vocabulary; they not only know what the author is trying to say, but can recognize what each individual word or phrase means. The fun exercises during these short weeks allowed students to enrich their speech with the abundant vocabulary.

weLearn would like to thank each and every one of your support, for without your help, the weLearn Fun Packed Chinese Week program would have been concluded after the first week. But, with the great demand, and the willingness of your children, the weLearn Fun Packed Chinese Week continued for two extra weeks. Thanks again for your support.

With the end of June, the weLearn Fun Packed Chinese Week program has concluded; for those who want to continue to learn Mandarin Chinese, please check out the afternoon program of weLearn Summer Day Camp in July and August –
