singapore chinese curric?  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Anyone use this for their preschooler? I understand its not likely a ton of people on here have the language skill to do it, but just wondering if anyone has. I have a degree in East Asian Studies and focused on Chinese langauge, so while not fluent I can figure it out if I don't know something. I have little flashcards and books I bought in Taiwan while studying there before I even got married "just in case" I ever had kids But now that DS is getting to be old enough to actually start understanding some of the language differences I'd like to start doing stuff with him- and he's not really much of a flashcard kid. The singaporemath.com site appears to offer a nice series of chinese books for his age. If you haven't used this one, what curric have you used?

Oh yeah, I also speak Spanish and French. If you know of good preschool/kindy workbooks or curriculums for those languages as well I'd love to look at those too.

I don't use it, but I did read that Taiwan uses traditional characters while Singapore uses simplified characters, so that might be an issue. I don't know if you want to deal with two sets of characters.

There are some Chinese language programs at http://www.asiaforkids.com
They also have another site: www.cultureforkids.com and they have many other language materials available including spanish and french
