Learn Hanyu at Narralakes


Beginners Level

This site is:

  • for students learning Chinese language.
  • a collation of my Google slide presentations
  • a combination of videos from other teachers, mainly from Youtube, and ones I have created.
  • the content in these videos include singing, general China related info-vids, and Chinese language learning.
  • a resource that is intended to supplement the typical topic areas a Chinese language student may cover in class with their teacher
  • parallels the topics in the Ni Hao series, Chinasoft, hence the references to the textbook or work book activities (Permission given to use the Ni Hao book covers on this site).

This site is not:

  • a stand alone course

If you are familiar with the "flipped learning" method, you will see that some of the videos have been prepared with that teaching methodology in mind.

Check out my post on FLIPPED LESSONS here.

With each topic, there is a Quizlet set of activities that students can;

  1. Learn: learn the vocabulary
  2. Flashcards: learn and revise the vocabulary
  3. Game: learn and master the content by playing games
  4. Test: their level of proficiency and mastery of the content


If you would like to give me some feedback or would like to discuss anything on the site or about Chinese, you can reach me on WeChat @Narralakes or twitter @narralakes or check out my language and tech blog .
