Here are the major concepts a Min Nan tutor can cover:
Culture
Speaking
Writing
Reading
Min Nan is more of a spoken language than a written one because it lacks a standardized writing system of its own. The characters that are used in their writing system are borrowed from Chinese. While the vowels in the Min Nan alphabet are similar to Mandarin, it consists of more consonants than both Mandarin and Cantonese. Min Nan is syllabic, which means that symbols are used to represent the syllables. This can be very difficult for English speakers to learn because it is nothing like English. Min Nan tutoring can be helpful in learning the alphabet because a tutor can help guide students through the unfamiliar characters. There are three main divisions of Min Nan in terms of dialects. These dialects have limited mutual intelligibility. Min Nan tutoring can be helpful in learning the different dialects because a tutor can provide insight into the culture differences between the three different dialects.
Working with a Min Nan tutor can be helpful in learning the vocabulary as well. Learning new vocabulary can be difficult and it may not be enough to try to learn new words in a textbook. A Min Nan tutor can be useful because they can actually speak to you in the language. This can help you stay engaged with the language because it gives you the chance to apply what you are learning while also gaining experience speaking the language. If you are interested in learning more about Min Nan, contact Varsity Tutors so that we can help you connect with someone who is eager to help.
