Things I can do in Chinese

App 2: The Polyglots at the Beach

I have been learning Chinese using The Polyglots apps

Here are some of the things I have discovered in App 2: The Polyglots at the Beach:

This is a table that educators can use to share children's learnings with their families. It is a list of "I can…" statements. Each "I can…" statement has a scale that allows the educator to record how the child is progressing with App 1: The Polyglots in the Playroom.

The scale has three labels:

• Doing sometimes with assistance
• Beginning to do independently
• Regularly doing confidently

The first line states:

• I can name some colours in Chinese. For example:

  Chinese phrase	Transliteration	English translation
  蓝色	Lánsè	Blue
  绿色	Lǜsè	Green
  橙色	Fĕnhóngsè	Orange
  粉红色	Fĕnhóngsè	Pink
  红色	Hóngsè	Red
  黄色	Huángsè	Yellow

The second line states:

• I can express some likes and dislikes in Chinese. For example

  Chinese phrase	Transliteration	English translation
  我喜欢红色！	Wŏ xĭhuan hóngsè!	I like red!
  我不喜欢黄色！	Wŏ bù xĭhuan huángsè!	I don’t like yellow!

My favourite colour is:

Clipart drawing of two fish in black and white, allowing students to colour them in.

Here is a picture of my favourite activity from App 2:
