Here's what they say after using the cards...
"I am delighted to commend Teacher Esther for her outstanding dedication and effective teaching methods. Under her guidance, my son transformed from a failed / borderline pass to achieving a commendable grade in Chinese for the recent PSLE. Teacher Esther's innovative approach, particularly the use of 好友趣word cards, not only enhanced his vocabulary but also sparked a genuine love for the Chinese language. We are truly grateful for her impactful coaching and commitment to fostering a positive learning environment. My son now has a greater interest and appreciation for the language. Thank you Teacher Esther once again! We are truly blessed to have you to coach Titus!

"Had tried the cards with my P1 and P2 kids. We managed to revise whole year syllabus within a night via games! That’s an amazingly fast and interesting way to do recap! If you have not tried before, definitely worth giving it a try because of its uniqueness. Additional plus point is that we can play different types of games with the cards too, tic tac toe, snake etc. Tried other brands of card before too but not so easy and fun to use those cards. Using these cards, I can easily let my kids revise on their own too and ultimately they are able to explore independently!"

"I was very worried about my daughter’s Chinese as I am equally bad and can’t help her. More so as this year it’s P6. So glad that I got to know Esther early this year and she has been a very good and patient teacher. My daughter enjoyed her lessons and through the 6A cards, she has found learning Chinese easier and more fun. She can remember the words better too after pairing them! And I get to learn alongside with her as well. This improves both our Chinese as we learn together. Compared to just learning from textbooks, it’s boring and doesn’t register in her. Wished I have known about Esther and her cards in earlier years. Thank you for your dedication & creating these wonderful cards, with fun learning Chinese in mind "

"My P6 boy was struggling with Chinese vocabularies during his upper Primary years. He'd learn and revise via assessment books but each time I go through the same vocabulary with him, he would not remember their meanings. Teacher Esther was a recommendation from a friend and ever since my son started his P6 journey with her, his understanding and ability to remember his Chinese vocabularies had improved leaps and bounds. I am particularly impressed by how the word pairing cards had helped him. He enjoyed practising with the cards and had also shared with me that they had helped him remember the meanings better. It felt like we have finally found a way to help him improve in the Chinese language! Thank you, Esther!"

"We are very blessed that teacher Esther contacted me to tell me about the cards in May this year. We gave them a try and since then, my child has enjoyed using the cards and says they are helpful. They came at a time when I was getting worried about Chinese because of the interrupted lessons and no tuition during the whole CB period. The cards gave us something manageable to work on, especially since my own Chinese is quite bad and there wasn't much I could do to help my child. Teacher Esther advised that we revise by using the cards for the most recent chapter that the student has learnt in school, and go backwards towards the first chapter. So we did that and completed 6B. Then we went on to 6A, and then 5B. Then came the prelims, and my child's score improved significantly. We have now ordered 5A and will work on that next. Thank you very much, teacher Esther."

"I think that using the cards is a very fun way to learn Chinese. The cards are laminated so they are durable. The cards are very small and cute, and are put in a box that is easy to carry. After Teacher Esther taught me, my Chinese improved a lot. Her method of teaching Chinese is not only effective but also fun. Even though she might be strict sometimes, she is also very funny and caring."

"It helps me to memorise the important words better. My results have improved because I learnt how to use the words through matching the cards. When I answer the questions in the exam papers, I find them familiar and easy."
De Nyane Aung
Yishun Primary School
"Compared to exam papers and assessment books, I prefer using the cards to revise my work and assess my learning as it is less intimidating and less stressful. Even though there are fewer words on the cards as compared to the assessment books or exam papers, I find it useful as all the words tested here are important words that I learnt from each chapter. Therefore, it is a very effective learning tool. Simple, concise yet effective."

"The cards are usefuI as they make revising the chapters more fun! They are very versatile and I can use them in various fun ways like playing SNAP and 'who can find more matches' etc. Before using the cards, revising used to be a chore for both my kids and myself. With the cards, we play some games and the kids are less resistant to Chinese revision and can also remember the points better."

I came across Hao You Qu cards when I posted a question in FB page regarding how to improved my girl’s Chinese which is her weakest subject. She is in P5 now. Esther is very helpful to share so many of her experiences. She also introduced me Hao Yu Qu cards and took extra efforts to make sure I can get the cards as my girl’s SA2 was just four days ahead. I used the cards to revise with my girl and we managed to go through 13 lessons in three days. And my girl can learn better besides going through the lessons again and again as we have went through twice. She scored pretty well in her Paper 2. Thanks Esther for your sharing.

My son dislikes learning Chinese and it has always been difficult to teach him new words. However he enjoys ‘playing’ with the cards so much and trying to learn the words so he can ‘beat’ me in the game of Chinese words. I truly recommend it as a tool to aid your child in learning Chinese. Thank you!

"I got to know Esther who is an awesome Chinese teacher. Also got her cards for my P2 and P4 girls. Both of them love them. It is a refreshing idea on using word cards instead of textbooks. We can form word sentences, word competition between daddy and children as well as recognise and read the words (instead of relying on hanyu pinyin) I can see my kids are more interested to learn Chinese.
Definitely recommend my other friends to get the cards. Thank you Esther."
