At the G1 level, Chinese words can feel like a mountain to climb. Many students can recognise a word when they see it, but when it comes to writing it down or using it correctly, the word just won't come. This course meets students where they are and builds their confidence word by word, step by step.

Based on Singapore's Secondary 1 G1 Chinese textbooks, each word is taught in small, friendly steps — from sounds and character parts to meanings and real-life usage. It is suitable for previewing before lessons, revising after class and reinforcing before examinations. The teaching videos are in Chinese, with clear and encouraging explanations.

COURSE CONTENT

• Pronunciation Made Clear: learn correct sounds and tones, with simple guidance on common slip-ups.
• Character Detective Work: explore radicals and character parts to recognise and write words more easily.
• Meanings That Stick: pictures and everyday situations make each word concrete and easy to grasp.
• Using Words in Real Sentences: common word partners and examples you can actually use.
• Small Checks Along the Way: stories, word hunts and quick reviews to see how much you have remembered.

COURSE FEATURES

• Follows Your School Textbooks: covers the Secondary 1 G1 Chinese word list, matching what students learn in class.
• One Step at a Time: every word is broken into small, friendly steps so no one gets left behind.
• Colour-Coded Word Cards: pictures and colours help students spot, sort and remember meanings at a glance.
• Watch, Pause, Repeat: short videos that students control at their own pace, replaying any word they need.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

• Primary 6 students preparing for Secondary 1 G1 Chinese during the school holidays.
• Secondary 1 G1 students who want a stronger foundation in Chinese vocabulary.
• Students who want more confidence in reading, writing and using Chinese words.
