Help in getting set up to join the first time, could be arranged if needed.Some good things about teaching online are:- avoid issues with pandemics, even if the student is not well enough to join in, sometimes they just listen in- avoid traffic and parking issues- reduce time for admin staff, as no venue needed- reduce costs for studentsGoogle Classrooms enable you to store material for the class (unlike Zoom) and can be used over and

About the Tutor:
I completed a major in Mandarin Chinese at UQ in 2004. I have studied a few languages and taught beginners' Thai in the main Brisbane Thai Buddhist Temple's Thai Cultural School, near Browns Plains. There I found out that the native primary school trained teachers, did not have experience teaching the tones, because they had only taught primary students, who were already fluent speakers. Thai and Chinese grammars are very similar and they are both tonal languages. I've been teaching U3A courses online for 4 years.If you are a U3A Brisbane member you may enrol in this class online using the Enrol button below.
