Even if you were not able to answer them all at the time............ No wonder people come and go.3 years later
It's been 3 years already since I asked these questions. I will wait for another 3 years. <p>Maybe no one here is "teach Chinese to foreigners". From subject, you just ask this questions to a certain group of people which are not the majority visitors of this site. I believe you have found at least some of your answers since it's been three years. Now you should be an expert than most of the visitors here right? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>So, before I ask for your answers, I'd like to share some of my thoughts. But I must say I have no exp. in teaching Chinese.<o:p></o:p></p>

I never teach anyone and even not good with Chinese grammar myself. Find a mentor or read some books related to this area. <o:p></o:p></span></p> You know what? My father-in-law was teaching Chinese at Boston Latin School for a while. He used to use "HanYu" by (Peter Chang, Alyce Mackrras and Yu Hsiu Ching) to teach. it was for Mid School student level. I don't really like it。 I found a web site here for the book: <br/>http://www.amazon.com/Hanyu-Intermediate-Students-Peter-Chang/dp/0582800854<br/><br/>Also I am using "中文“ to teach my children chinese。Here is the website：<br/>http://www.hwjyw.com/textbooks/downloads/zhongwen/<a href="file:///Applications/Documents/%E6%BC%A2%E8%AA%9E%E6%9B%B8/%E3%80%8A%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E3%80%8B%E6%95%99%E6%9D%90/%E3%80%8A%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E3%80%8B%E6%95%99%E6%9D%90%E7%AC%AC1%E5%86%8C1.pdf"></a>
