Invitation: "Dragon Boat Racing Party" at my Chinese school

Dear students



I really want to show my appreciation for your continued hard work and positive attitudes towards my class. So, I have a proposal. As you may know, the Dragon Boat Festival is very important in Chinese culture. Also, in my classes, I believe that learning the language isn't only about grammar, speaking, comprehension and other such things; it’s also about providing some cultural background and encouraging you to explore it.

.

So, I want to invite you to a special occasion at my school, a kind of school open day in the form of a "Dragon Boat Racing Party”. I will prepare some snacks and soft drinks and organize a fun "Dragon Boat Competition". You are also free to bring your own beer if you like.

Obviously, I’ll understand if you can’t make it but it’s a chance to meet and get to know some other students who study with me. You can come alone or bring some friends along if you prefer. Ask your partner or whoever you choose really. Just let me know if you can come in advance and how many people will be attending with you so I can prepare properly.

I’m not sure which day suits most people, so if you could RSVP when you get the chance.

The dates I’m proposing is:

~~~~~Next Sunday June 5 (from 13:30 till about 15:30.)

Answer in my Facebook page or reply me by email,please.

Pauline is an excellent teacher. She's very patient and fully dedicated to her pupils. Even though we all have different levels in the class, she always makes entertaining and fascinating classes. Pauline is extremely patient and tolerant, and it's for me such a great pleasure to attend her classes every weeks.
Last workshop we had, she came to the class with some amulets we had to make. Very fun and not only this, but we had a full class concerning some Chinese ancient believes and tradition.
Once she even came with some Aka traditional food, that e all shared together. Absolutely amazing!

To sum up, if you want to learn mandarin with a nice and very efficient smiling teacher , full of stories and good examples , Pauline is definitely the teacher you need !

Have a nice weekend and see you on Monday

You are so kind :)

One student's comment about my class.

I am enjoying my Chinese class very much: the lessons are challenging and helpful to remember
new vocabulary. Words and structures come with cultural explanations, that are always interesting and sometimes even bizarre... but this is Chinese for western people!... !... ...and this is the way we learn!!!!!
In class we practise the content of the lesson with games and activities which make my time pleasant and funny ...and really cheer me up while I am struggling with the Chinese language! "

Thank you 莉佳.It really encourages me a lot.
