As children enter secondary school, the number of Chinese words they need to learn increases. Many can recognise words when reading but struggle to write them during dictation or use them correctly in exercises.
Based on Singapore's Secondary 1 G3 Chinese textbooks, this course combines pictures, clear explanations and relatable examples to help students understand, remember and use vocabulary. It is suitable for preparation before lessons, revision after class and reinforcement before examinations. The teaching videos are in Chinese.
