Live Interactive Chinese combines conversation, pronunciation and cultural tips all in one book. The one audio CD 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.
The monthly focus is restaurant and food. We not only introduce restaurant vocabulary, but also teach readers the practical phrases used when going to a restaurant. Readers will also learn useful dialogue through real life situations such as choosing a restaurant, ordering and having problems with the meal, etc. With our guides to night markets, readers will learn about all kinds of Taiwanese food. Curious about how Chinese people hold a wedding banquet? We introduce readers to the unique culture and how it has evolved throughout the years. Please review the table of content.
