带领外教们初次领略中文的魅力
Hello Chinese
海达外教免费中文课如期开始啦！本次课的主题是“自我介绍及汉语拼音表”。
The free, monthly Mandarin class for Haida foreign teachers was held on Sept 26th. The topic was "Pronunciation and Self introduction".
为了提高外教们的学习兴趣，中文老师先给外教们都起了中文名字，并一一做了中文名字的解释。解释完了以后，外教们貌似都对自己的中文名字挺满意的样子。Andrea现在有中文名字了，就叫小贝。
To arouse foreign teachers’ interest in learning Mandarin, the Chinese teacher gave each of them a Chinese name and explained the meanings of their names. Luckily, foreign teachers seemed to like their Chinese names. Andrea now has had her Chinese name, it was “Xiao Bei”.
接下来，外教们进入到了自我介绍的学习环节。中文老师一字一句认真地教，外教们大胆地开口模仿。看，外教们正积极热情地用中文进行自我介绍呢！
Here came the most exciting learning part: Self introduction. The Chinese teacher was so careful that she taught word by word. What about the foreign teachers? They were very brave. They tried to imitate and speak. Look, foreign teachers were using Chinese to introduce themselves to each other enthusiastically!
中文老师还为大家准备了汉语拼音表，另外还介绍了学习汉语的一些APP，如Hello Chinese, Chinese Skill。
The Chinese teacher also prepared the form of Pingyin and introduced several APPs for learning Chinese, like Hello Chinese, Chinese Skill.
学习中文，不仅是学习一门语言，也是一种文化的熏陶。这既是为了帮助外教更好地融入学校融入杭州融入中国，也增进了海达外教们之间的情感交流。
Learning Mandarin is to learn the Chinese language itself as well as Chinese culture. No doubt this will not only help Haida foreign teachers to adapt to work in schools and life in China, but also enhance the communication between Haida foreign teachers.
