This four-volume series is a basic course for students of Chinese. Ni Hao introduces Chinese language and culture and builds communication skills in both spoken and written Chinese.

The Ni Hao textbooks feature a wide range of situational settings and vocabulary to encourage Chinese practice in everyday activities. Each lesson presents conversations as illustrated scripts that facilitate role-playing and help students put their communicative skills into action. Engaging additional sections clearly explain new vocabulary and language usage, character stroke order, and Chinese culture. Songs, rhymes, tongue twisters, cartoons, stories, and interesting features of Chinese characters tie it all together and make learning fun.

Students can also record their own voice to compare pronunciation.

The Ni Hao series includes textbooks, workbooks, and teacher's handbooks as well as great supplements like audio CDs and games software.

Baby Learns Chinese" DVD series is developed by a group of dedicated Chinese educators inspired by the theories of Dr. Glenn Doman, author of the best selling books on early childhood learning, including "How to Teach Your Baby to Read".* Research has shown that children from birth to age 6 learn languages at an extraordinary rate and with Mandarin:

• Your child is introduced to more than 50 Chinese characters with a common theme

• Each Chinese word is big and legible for your baby’s sensitive eyes

• The sounds of the words are loud and clear, with constant repetition for familiarization

• The images are fun and amusing

• The songs are easy to sing-along In each of the chapters, your child will learn to speak Mandarin and read the Chinese characters (both traditional and simplified to be selected by you).

As each chapter unfolds, your child will build his/hers Chinese vocabulary *(1) "The child’s brain ... ‘sees’ the big, clear television words through his eye and interprets them iin exactly the same manner. It makes no difference to the brain whether it ‘sees’ a sight or ‘hears’ a sound. it can understand both equally well." (2) "Very young children can read, provided that in the beginning you make the print very big."
