CHINESE USING ACCELERATED LEARNING TECHNIQUES

Learn Chinese without Tears!

What Students will Learn

In this course participants will be taught how to write the commonly used Chinese radicals which still form the basis of modern Chinese writing. By mastering these radicals students will learn other ideographs more easily and how to use a Chinese/English dictionary more quickly. Students will also learn to converse in everyday situations. The approach used to teach writing reading and conversing is based wholly on accelerated learning principles.


What is Accelerated Learning (Suggestopedia)?


Recognised by UNESCO as one of the best approaches for the teaching of a foreign language, accelerated learning or suggestopedia is the brainchild of Dr. Georgie Lozanov, a Bulgarian doctor and psychotherapist. When taught with suggestopedic methods, Dr. Lozanov's students' learning rate was five times greater compared to normal teaching methods.


Accelerated Learning is an integrated system of learning which stresses that people learn better:-

- when combining their conscious and unconscious mind

- under conditions of relaxation, pleasure, fun, play & games

- when their self esteem is not threatened

- when their teachers are knowledgeable about the subject

- when the teacher uses a multi-sensory holistic approach (whole brain)


This is what our students say:


This is the first time I have found a system of learning behind the seemingly incomprehensible, non-alphabetical language

- Dr. David Chong


I have enjoyed the classes and found the story telling, the music and the native speakers to be most useful. The suggestive element helped memorisation and motivation

- Ian Davidson
