  1. Hi, I’m Jason, Mandarin Temple’s AI tutor. Here’s how to put real Chinese on a slide, straight from the platform’s own library.
  2. Start with a fresh slide. An empty slide always shows the three ways in: the library, a template or a tool.
  3. A card from the library points at the real lesson rather than copying it, so it stays correct and opens for whoever has access.
  4. Radicals give you character cards. Select one, and it lands on the slide with its pinyin and meaning.
  5. A lesson opens into its sections. Choose Vocabulary, and the card shows just that part of the lesson.
  6. With a teaching seat, the Dialogues tab puts a lesson’s script on the slide as a role-play strip.
  7. Select a speaker’s name to hide their lines, and your class reads that part aloud instead.
  8. Everything saves to your board as you go, and the chip at the top of the screen says Saved.
  9. And because these cards point at real lessons, Assign can set this slide as homework for a circle.
  10. That’s the content column: real Chinese, one click away. Next, set up a circle for the learners you’ll teach.
