Children love fruit because it’s sweet and colorful. They can see fruit in the kitchen and might have some fruit toys. They can also see fruit at school, at the market, in nature, and any place that has food! The best way for your child to learn Chinese is to start with vocabulary words that they see in their everyday life.
That means your child will have many opportunities to say the names of the fruit in Chinese as they play and go about their day! A great way for kids to learn Chinese is through songs. Here is a fun, fruit song by Galaxy Kids, to teach your kid how to say fruit in Chinese.
Also, here is a free Chinese learning activity! To teach your child these fruit words in Chinese, ask your child the word in English first, play the audio, and then repeat the word in Chinese with your child. You can then practice saying the Chinese word for different fruit as your child plays, eats, and helps you run errands.
You can start with teaching your child how to say 3-5 of their favorite fruits in Chinese. Once they know those words, you can add more vocabulary from there. Remember to praise your child and make learning Chinese fun for them!
