Online Course Chinese Medical Chinese

[Guest guest]

Hi Herman - I was hoping to take your class and had emailed you to

that effect. But realistically, I don't believe I have the time for

it. I honestly don't know where I would find the one hour daily

required to make good use of the class. I wanted to let you know my

decision. Best to you and your students. - Jan Vanderlinden

Just a little plug... I've been doing this class and Herman does a

great job... even if I'm always late doing my homework.

I saw some of the syllabus. It looks like individual characters are

described in some depth, but is there time devoted to actually learning to

reading a book? Grammar, idioms, etc?

Al,

 

You probably saw materials from Block A (?). Block A concentrates

on basic CM concepts, often in the context of quotations from

ancient literature, and on building a basic vocabulary.

 

We begin with grammar (of classical Chinese) in Block B. Block B

concentrates on how grammatical structures work in phrases and

sentences, and in Block C we start to tackle short texts. Since the

Paradigm Grammar & Vocabulary book is rather dense, I provide

students with step-by-step explanations of basic grammatical

structures.

 

Homework in Block B consists of extra exercises to get a grip on

grammar and syntax. Of course, vocabulary building remains

important in Block B and C as well and we continue to discuss

individual characters (which is a big part of the fun for many

students).

 

I hope this answers your question. Feel free to ask more,

 

Herman

 

Thanks for the plug, Doug, I hope you can do the test soon ;-)

Hi All,

 

I am glad to announce a new session of the Online Course in Chinese Medical

Chinese.

 

The course will help you to develop a deeper understanding of concepts in

through the study of characters and their use in classical

texts. It guides you in your studies of the basic vocabulary of Chinese

Medicine. The characters are traced to their origins, and placed in the context

of medical classics such as the Neijing and Nanjing, by close reading of

citations from those texts.

 

The plan is to start Block A somewhere in February.

 

More information about the course can be found at:

 

http://www.paradigm-pubs.com/HermanAd

 

To give you a further idea of where following the course can bring you, I am

proud to tell you that I have formed a translation team with students who did

complete blocks A, B, and C, and we are currently translating Tang Zonghai's

Xuezhenglun ( & #34880; & #35777; & #35770;/ & #34880; & #35657; & #35542;, `On Blood

Patterns'), a rather important text which has influenced the theory and

treatment of blood-related diseases considerably. Besides translation and

annotation of the original text we also will translate some articles that

contain commentaries and case studies.

 

I hope that this will serve to whet your appetite! Consider the enormous

benefits of being able to access the vast literature on .

 

For practitioners in the US of A: Completion of Block A of this course entitles

you to 100 PDA (CEU) points approved by the NCCAOM and by the Acupuncture Board

of the State of California.

 

The course is open for teachers and students alike.

 

For questions, feel free to email me at: hermanoving(at)gmail(dot)com

Also, feel free to pass this mail on to people you think might be interested.

 

I am looking forward to meeting you in my class,

 

Sincerely,

 

Nicolaas Herman Oving
