Innovative Language Learning DVD
Your Key to Language & Culture
Dear Friends,
Asia For Kids' mission is to be the best
resource for Asian languages and cultures.
With the rapid growth of Chinese language learners, there are so many more language textbooks and supplemental materials
coming from China. We carefully review and
select only those that meet the needs of
English speaking learners. We highly recommend Live Interactive Chinese Pronunciation
on page 10 for anyone older than 12 to pick up
those difficult tones in Mandarin Chinese.
The BookBox DVD recently introduced
has been received superbly. As we continue to
listen and improve, we present a totally new
DVD with newer recording and menu options
for enhanced learning experience. We have
selected many more software, online learning
and DVD to enhance multi-sensory learning
experience. Please check out the Feelings
posters in Chiinese, Japanese & Korean on
page 54. See our new DVD selection of animated Chinese Classics like Ballad of Mulan
on page 14 and Animated Tales on page 26.
Enjoy browsing through our latest collection of new titles. If you need any assistant
with selection, be sure to call us or e-mail us.

Integrated Chinese for AP Chinese
One of the most popular college level textbook series, Integrated Chinese helps you
understand how the Chinese language works
grammatically, and how to use Chinese in real
life. Materials within Integrated Chinese are
divided into sections of listening, speaking,
reading and writing. Uses authentic materials
written for native Chinese speakers, such as
newspaper clippings, signs, and tickets. Topics
relate to students' immediate environment and
focus on practical competencies such as seeing the doctor, making an
appointment, etc. Notes on grammar, language use and Chinese culture
are found throughout the textbooks. Character workbooks teach students
to write characters in their correct stroke order. The Level 2 Character
Workbook also features an English-Chinese glossary of all vocabulary in
Levels 1 & 2, a Chinese character index of all characters in Levels 1 & 2,
and the example sentences in simplified form.
Each level is designed to cover a year of study in a rigorous college program, but can be adapted for other programs working at a slower pace.
Level 1 covers approximately 38 words per lesson with a total of 23 lessons; Level 2 covers approximately 58 words per lesson with 20 lessons.
Each CD includes the narratives, dialogs, and vocabulary for both textbook and the workbooks. Dialogs and narratives are read at slow, medium, and fast speeds, and students can easily switch from one track to the
next. Audio CDs contain both textbook and workbook audio material.
