Date of publication :2020-07-28 10:44

Our little campers continue to explore the theme of daily life at hihilulu Atelier® Summer Camp. Watch a video clip of their virtual class "My pet". 

The first cartoon we studied together is The Bird Tutu in the 1st season of Emmy & GooRoo. It is a story about how mom bird looking for her lost baby, and how Emmy and her friends help mom bird. 



Such a coincidence! One of our campers just had an amazing journey with a baby myna bird who fell into her garden! 




So she told us how they found the baby myna who was named as " Doudou" by the family, how they helped Doudou recover, how they taught Doudou to eat, drink and fly .......

And, our little camper even wrote a poem about the short life of little Doudou......full of her love and memory for this moment of life. 




Her story stimulates others to share their interesting stories in daily life. Though their Chinese expression is not perfect, they impressed us by their interesting angles, vivid expressions, and their gentle feelings. 

Learning a foreign language, as hihilulu always advocate, is to express, to communicate, and to discover a new way of thinking. The more we use the language, the better we could naturally acquire this language。

Teacher
Miss Mandarine, a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language, loves Chinese language teaching and gets super well with children. Though Miss Mandarine humbly considers her a “newcomer”, she already teaches Chinese as a foreign language for five years!!! Besides teaching Chinese in a relatively large Chinese language school in Paris, Miss Mandarine is also in charge of hihilulu Chinese pilot project and its “ Ambassador Program” in France. She has a “transitional” style in teaching Chinese by combining the advantages of traditional Chinese teaching and the new methods of the E-learning Era. She wins a nick name of "Magic Mandarin" from her students. Miss Mandarine advocates mobilizing students' language interest, helping students discover their inner consciousness through languages and culture discovery. Miss Mandarine’s blog will share the problems and interesting phenomena encountered in teaching Chinese as a foreign language and will record her swelling journey in the form of teaching notes. Welcome to Miss Mandarine’s Chinese wonderland!
