Hello overseas parents and friends! This is Tongle Chinese, a platform dedicated to providing high-quality Chinese learning solutions for overseas families. 

We often receive confusion from parents in the background: 

  • Why are children always not interested in Chinese classes? 

  • Why have literacy cards and dictation always become a "minefield" of parent-child relationship? 

We know that this is not a problem for children, nor is it a problem with Chinese itself. but the teaching philosophy and method may be misaligned with the path of overseas second language acquisition. Today, I would like to share with you our core philosophy from a professional perspective, hoping to bring some new inspiration to your family's Chinese learning path. 

🌟 Enjoy Chinese, our concept is "subversion" and "return" 

Subverting Tradition: From "Reading and Writing Nightmare" to "Hearing First"  

We firmly believe that the essence of language learning is communication. Therefore, we have subverted the traditional "reading and writing bundling" model and strictly followed the scientific path of "listening and speaking first, literacy later". At the beginner level, we do not pursue the big and complete, do not force reading and writing, but do our best to create a relaxed and immersive language environment for children to protect their most valuable learning interests. We believe that when the channel of listening and speaking is completely opened, reading and writing will naturally become a natural result. 

Back to the essence: from "textbook center" to "story is king" 

Children do not resist Chinese, but resist boring content. Our classroom does not have blunt words and sentences, but instead is a treasure trove of vivid cultural stories. From idiom allusions to classical storytelling, from "Journey to the West" to the artistic conception of ancient poems, we let children absorb language nutrients "painlessly" in wonderful stories, cultivate a higher sense of language, and stimulate their deep desire to express themselves. We hope that Chinese is no longer a "subject", but a fun "adventure". 

Return to empathy: from "preaching and teaching" to "spiritual bridge"  

Almost all of the teachers in Tongle are from North America, and they not only have a solid foundation in Chinese language, but also have a deeper understanding of the growth psychology of overseas Chinese children, cultural background conflicts, and the educational rhythm of North American families. They are not only imparters of knowledge, but also partners who can build trust and empathize with children. Our classroom is not only a Chinese class, but also a classroom of encouragement, guidance and understanding. 

Return to the family: from "educational burden" to "parent-child time"  

We understand the busyness and difficulty of overseas families. Therefore, we offer a flexible mode of combining live streaming and recording, and encourage parents to listen. Our assignments are designed to be refined rather than stacked, designed to reinforce what is learned in the classroom rather than become a burden to the family. We hope that Chinese learning can become a wonderful parent-child time, allowing parents to change from "after-school teaching assistants" to "relaxed participants". 

We are not teaching a subject called "Chinese", we are cultivating a confident Chinese speaker and cultural messenger. If you also expect your child to actively fall in love with Chinese and express themselves naturally and fluently, welcome to experience our teaching philosophy. 

We sincerely invite you to book our free trial class and witness your child's surprising transformation from "Want me to learn" to "I want to learn" with us. 

Together with every parent who values Chinese inheritance, we are willing to accompany our children on a more natural and warmer path of Chinese learning.

加州的春天
每年小寒假,我和爸爸妈妈会坐飞机去加州旅游。加州的气候有时候冷,有时候热。我们赶上的天气正好是典型的“室内温度”,既不凉,也不热。 从飞机上,我们能看到三藩、圣荷赛城市的灯光,像星星一样。高速公路上的车动的好快呀,就像一朵朵小风轮。到了圣巴巴拉(SantaBarbara),一下飞机就可以闻到大海的咸味,随风飘扬着。开着出租车,路边的房子都是黄墙瓦,街道两旁种满了棕榈树。 我们一直开到海边的一个小营地。白天,我们回去海边。我们在海滩上走向一块大岩石,路上捡了许多贝壳。有些像螺丝,有些是圆锥形的。最后,我们把脚放在海水里涮一涮。一天,我们参观了圣巴巴拉的自然历史博物馆。那里不光有自然历史,而且有蝴蝶,小溪,蛇,宝石,和许多其他的本地物质。 晚上,我们会找一个附近的拉面馆吃一顿暖暖的晚餐。吃完晚饭后会在火上烤棉花糖。坐在椅子里往上看,满天都是星星,周围围绕着树梢。当我们躺在帐篷里睡觉时,能听见海边的浪花打在沙滩上,风吹着我们的帐篷。加州的春天真是不一样。 王菁老师点评: 安冉的这篇小短文细腻地描绘了一次在加州的旅行体验,从飞机上的视角到海滩的嬉戏,再到夜晚的星空与海浪声,都反映了家庭旅行的轻松与快乐。尤其是最后躺在帐篷里听海浪和风声,这种与大自然亲近的体验,使得整次旅行更加难忘,让人向往。整体而言,文章流畅自然,给人留下了深刻的印象。
