Expand your vocabulary and practice your listening comprehension skills by learning a fun Chinese song. Because songs are fun to listen to and hum along with, you will improve your listening and speaking skills far easier than you would by listening to traditional language learning recordings. You should, of course, use those as well, and go to class and get your homework done as instructed by your teachers... However, this fun method will keep you more interested and more engaged in your Chinese studies than traditional materials. Using the lyrics of popular Chinese songs and their original recordings, we will teach you new words and practical ways to use them. That’s it! Have fun!
What This Is and What It Is Not
This is a vocabulary builder intended for Mandarin Chinese learners, ideal for those with some language knowledge. This product does not replace a Chinese language manual, professors or classes, and it will not teach you Chinese by itself. We do not include a translation in the printed booklet (only in the recording) because we believe the point of learning a language is to understand and convey meaning, more so than to create a perfect translation.
