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