Book Reviews of First Thousand Words in Chinese: Internet Linked (Chinese Edition)
Book Review: This book is a great place to start
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I are historical researchers and I am currently working on teaching Madarin Chinese to my daughters, ages 6 1/2 and 10 1/2 (and my husband) as well as to myself. Public schools being what they are today with the current dummying down effect inflicted by "No Child Left Behind" & etc. (and no, I am NOT a full-time homeschooler), I have always felt that the parents of smart kids NEED to supplement their family's public school experience with home instruction according to their personal interests. This book(along with Tuttle's 250 Essential Chinese characters, vol. 1 & 2 AND Schuam's outlines) are what we are starting off our learning process with. My kids are very excited with what we are discovering in our studies. This is not just work for them, its fun. I highly reccomend this kind of family project to other parents. Medical studies have shown that a brain that is continued to be challenged is one that far less often falls prey to the terrible decline into dementia. If you think of Mandarin as a giant "acrostic puzzle" and leave your preconceptions dumped at the door, adventure awaits!
Summary of First Thousand Words in Chinese: Internet Linked (Chinese Edition)
This bright and amusing book is a delightful introduction to the world's most widely spoken language. Using Mandarin Chinese (the official and best-known dialect) and simplified characters (the version of the written language used across mainland China), it encourages direct association of the Chinese word with the object to ensure effective, long-term learning. Each Chinese word is followed by an easy-to-read pronunciation guide, and at the end of the book, there is a Chinese-English list of all the words used. It also includes pinyin, which is the spell sound or spelling of the sound that helps them read the characters before they have the characters memorized. 64 pages.Multilingual Books
