There are mainly two kinds of Chinese classes here, Regular classes or Intensive classes. I take the Intensive class because I'll only stay here for one term. In the intensive class we study three hours per day Monday-Friday. So, how do the teacher manage to keep up the pace? Besides lots of struggling with pronounciation, grammar, billions of examples and homework we got some rules to stick to (we have even signed a contract!). The rules are as follow:
- Hand in the homework IN TIME that is no begging to postpone the deadline.
- We MUST ask if we have questions.
- Speak Chinese ONLY during lesson, not even Chinglish is allowed.
- DON'T EAT during class.
- No use of cell phone.
Very simple but efficient rules. No distractions, just let the brain ingests Chinese.
The best thing is that everybody in the class are motivated to learn (in contrast to how it is in Sweden).
