![]() Australasian Centre of Chinese Studies (ACCS) Melbourne & Sydney OUR MISSION The Centre aims: Mandarin Chinese using Accelerated Learning A 10-week course of 2 hours each week full of fun and rapid learning.What Students will Learn In this course participants will be taught how to write the commonly used Chinese radicals which still form the basis of modern Chinese writing. By mastering these radicals students will learn other ideographs more easily and how to use a Chinese/English dictionary more quickly. Students will also learn to converse in everyday situations. The approach used to teach writing reading and conversing is based wholly on accelerated learning principles.Chinese Writing Chinese writing has no alphabetical order therefore it is difficult to remember the ideographs through memorisation, since there are no sequential links connecting them. There are 214 elementary pictographs that form the basis of Chinese writing. These pictographs originated literally from pictures drawn of objects, animals, phenomena of nature etc. These pictures have changed over the years but many can be identified from their original representations eg. The word for "human being" is: Learn Cantonese the fun way using the Accelerated Learning Approach.Following on from the extremely successful Mandarin classes, our Cantonese classes are based on similar teaching methodologies.There are 10 levels of our Cantonese classes. The first level course is aimed towards people who would like to get started in the Cantonese language. The emphasis is on conversational skills in both social and business settings. At the end of this first level, students would have learnt approximately 200 words of spoken Cantonese. Following on from this first level course, a second level course is also available which expands your conversational skills to cover more areas of interest. The Level 3 Cantonese and beyond advances students further into the intricacies of Cantonese grammar and pronunciation whilst providing more conversational skills and vocabulary.The courses are based on 10 lessons of 2 hours duration each and are held in both Melbourne and Sydney venue. Private company or group classes can also be arranged.Private company or group classes can also be arranged.Learn to Converse in Cantonese VERY QUICKLY and EASILY and IT'S FUN! A Revolutionary Approach for 4-year olds upwards!!! Learn Mandarin Without TearsThe objectives of our Children Chinese Classes are as follows:- to introduce the Chinese language to the children in a fun and non-threatening classroom environment through the use of our Accelerated Learning technique. - to provide them with a solid foundation for learning Chinese in future years (e.g. VCE Chinese) through teaching them the basics of the language (e.g. Pin Yin, Chinese script, tone marks, grammar) and conducting these classes in English (as opposed to a non-English speaking classroom environment) with less than 10 students per class.- to teach them effectively using a flexible and modularised structured syllabus which will let them use the Chinese language in everyday situations.- to ensure that the children will grow to love studying the Chinese language by not overwhelming them with new information too fast and too soon. They will learn Chinese in a way which will let them retain the information more effortlessly and be able to use the language more confidently with a strong foundation.
