A Mid-Autumn Festival Story
This sample page shows how students can learn vocabulary in context. This book is part of the intermediate level. The Chinese characters are more complex and the sentence structures are more complicated. However the illustrations help students to figure out the text.
The teacher can also do a book walk first. Students can talk about what they see in the picture first. The teacher can provide the vocabulary if students don't know them.
Remember, students will be able to easily read a book if they already know the vocabulary.

Finding time to teach Chinese or science is almost impossible. Now teachers can teach science and Chinese at the same time, allowing them to save time or reinforce ideas taught in science during Chinese time.

This little Chinese comic teaches the Chinese phrase chicken talking to a duck. It showcases the difference between Cantonese and Mandarin. It is for more advanced students with a larger Chinese vocabulary. It comes in traditional and simplified Chinese. It includes a template for students to create their own comic.
I have created a few Chinese comics to make it easier for students to read Chinese on their own. I started writing this comic series because of the confusion between Cantonese and Mandarin. Some people mistakenly believe that the difference between Cantonese and Mandarin is the difference between simplified and traditional Chinese characters. Cantonese and Mandarin have their own ways of speaking with their own unique vocabulary. They would have trouble talking to each other just as a chicken would have trouble understanding a duck. Written Chinese allows them to bridge this gap.
There is a chicken and a duck at my house. I speak Cantonese and my husband speaks Mandarin.
