[故事] 你会说什么语言?




One of my favourite ways to teach Mandarin is through storytelling, as it helps students experience the language in a more meaningful and engaging way. I have been creating story-based PowerPoint lessons using familiar movie characters, making the stories more relatable and enjoyable. These stories are designed for primary learners studying Mandarin as a foreign language.

The first one I shared a few years ago was about Daily Routine, 《起床后,你先做什么?》 and it received very positive feedback from teachers around the world. This encouraged me to start sharing more of my resources on Etsy. All my materials are high-quality, classroom-tested, and ready to use.

Introducing 《你会说什么语言?》

Plot: When the Lion King and Timon discuss the languages they can speak, CJ7 suddenly appears and gives them a big surprise!

With humour, music, and visual storytelling, this lesson keeps students focused while reinforcing key language structures.

My Mandarin Teaching Resources Are Now on Etsy


If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might know that I’ve always enjoyed sharing free Mandarin teaching resources — from classroom games to simple lesson ideas.

Over the years, many of these materials were created for my own students — to make lessons more engaging, interactive, and accessible for learners studying Mandarin as a foreign language.

Recently, I’ve taken a small step forward and opened my Etsy shop, where I’ve started sharing more structured and ready-to-use Mandarin teaching resources for primary learners. 

In my shop, you’ll find:

  • Mandarin classroom games (PowerPoint-based & interactive)
  • Speaking and storytelling activities
  • Editable templates for different topics
  • Low-prep resources ready to use

All resources are designed to help students feel more confident, participate actively, and enjoy learning Mandarin.

🛍️ You can explore my shop here: https://stianmandarinvibes.etsy.com 

If you’re a teacher, I hope these resources support your classroom. I’d also love to hear your feedback if you try them 💛

一周五天,五位老师,五种教学方式|Five Days A Week, Five Teachers, Five Different Teaching Styles


最近三个月在日本东京(Tokyo Riverside School)进修短期日语课程。边学习,边体验当地生活,是我一直向往的慢生活之一。


我们学校每个班级大约有18到20个学生,平均年龄在22、23岁左右。我们班的平均年龄估计被我这插班生拉高了不少班里大部分的学生都在为考上大学院做准备。最让我感到新奇的是,一周五天,每天给我们授课的老师都不一样!


虽说是名学生,但毕竟从事了教师这行业十年之久,所以没来得及改掉职业病听课学习 Lesson Observation。今天我想借我这小小的空间跟你们分享我在日语学院体验的各种有趣、有效教学法。希望对你们有所启发。

M老师总有精美易懂的PPT。图片、字体、颜色都能看出老师在准备PPT课件上花了不少心思。练习纸也是精心制作,没有过多的花俏。讲解语法点时,
