Play and Learn Chinese makes the process of learning a second language natural for children by involving the people who taught them their first language—their parents! From language innovator Ana Lomba, this hands-on program is based on real life, everyday activities that provide parents and children with countless opportunities to learn together. From taking a bath to taking a bike ride, this program makes everyday routines fun—and educational!
Each colorful two-page spread features:

• Simplified Chinese characters and pinyin transliteration for easy pronunciation
• Illustrations of key words that act as a mini picture dictionary
• A comic strip that shows everyday dialogs in action

All of the activities in Play and Learn Chinese are based on proven teaching techniques and are developmentally appropriate to maximize language learning while maintaining a playful attitude that captures the attention of a young audience. A fully updated introduction includes expert advice that guides parents through the language learning process.
