Interactive Lessons
Chinese the Right Way uses interactive lessons and toys to make the learning experience more engaging and interesting for students.
Flashcards, dice, quizzes, and other activities are used to break up the monotany of memorizing characters by rote. Students can create accounts to track their learning process, bookmark activies for later, and request help from their peers and volunteer teachers.
Learning Through Tradition
One problem with learning the Chinese language as a westerner is the perceived difficulty of the written language. Chinese the Right Way aims to alleviate the stress of learning the Chinese language by making lessons fun, easy, and interactive.
For millenia, Chinese natives have learned Chinese through heritage, tradition, and stories. Chinese the Right Way aims to bring those traditions and stories to the West so more people can learn Chinese. Chinese the Right Way uses an emphasis on traditional learning strategies and storytelling in order to make the Chinese language fun and easy to learn.
