Description
Welcome to HitChinese! I'm Mia. Here, you’ll find Chinese lessons crafted with the Comprehensible Input strategy, ensuring every word is clear, meaningful, and easy to understand.
These lessons offer a rich and diverse range of content to fully immerse you in learning and help you achieve daily Chinese fluency. We begin by mastering super verbs, equipping you to express your opinions with ease. From there, you’ll dive into engaging short stories designed to deepen your grasp of high-frequency sentence structures.
You’ll also explore fascinating Chinese cultural topics, such as parenting styles, China’s most popular apps, safety in the country, and the cultural fascination with hot water. To enhance your learning experience, I’ve creatively woven comprehensible input lessons into Chinese songs, proverbs, and even cooking demonstrations, ensuring a dynamic and enjoyable journey into the language and culture.
Each lesson features TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling), introducing limited vocabulary through engaging mini-stories. These stories creatively combine key terms to help you avoid overwhelm, enjoy extensive repetition, and learn practical applications.
To deepen your understanding, I use a method called circling—asking simple questions based on the story. This approach ensures you naturally absorb Mandarin through repetition, without the need for rote memorization.
If grammar confuses you, vocabulary memorization bores you, or new words just won’t stick, join me for lessons that make Mandarin fun, effective, and intuitive!
"Human acquires language in only way - by understanding messages, or by receiving comprehensible input, and learners improve and progress along 'the natural order'." -- Stephen Krashen --
