Live Interactive Chinese combines conversation, pronunciation and cultural tips all in one book. The two audio CDs and one CD-ROM(MP3) that come with this book help students learn Chinese in an interactive and fun way. This book makes the transition from basic to applied usage, with additional features to liven up the products. Using concepts from Spiral Learning, this book incorporates vocabulary, sentence patterns and grammar from the previous eight issues into new themes for revision purposes, so that the students can familiarize themselves further with that they have already learned. Moreover, each book revolves around a central theme that is explored through different levels and formats, reaching the ACTFL's 5Cs standard (Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons and Communities). Through this, the learner can effectively grasp the keywords and practical sentences of each theme and get to learn about another culture. This helps the learner integrate Chinese with other academic subjects and use Chinese in a practical, everyday setting. Since Volume 9, we enter the intermediate level and provide a brand new look: First, we merge the two Chinese characters together for easier comparison in books, CD-ROMs and DVDs. Second, we add "Live Reading" to help learners at this level to improve their reading skills while broaden their vocabulary.
Continuing the thematic design, this volume the monthly focus is travel. In the Picture Dictionary Unit, we introduce airport vocabulary. Based on that, we go on to practical phrases related to traveling by air. How to use those sentences properly in your daily life? Don't worry about it! Wenzheng and Lili will take you to Beijing and be your role model of travel Chinese. Please review the table of content.
