Description
Fun & Fluency: Living the Chinese Language is a textbook series designed specifically for adult beginners. Following the principle of “listening and speaking first, reading and writing second,” it helps learners acquire the language skills needed for daily life in China through 60 lessons.
Three key features:
Pinyin + comparison – pronunciation made easier
Each lesson introduces one Pinyin sound, using English pronunciation as a reference. With plenty of listening and imitation, the four tones become less mysterious.
Scenarios + dialogues – learn and use immediately
Covers 17 real‑life situations (accommodation, food, transportation, shopping, socializing, etc.). The dialogues reflect everyday conversations, not artificial “classroom Chinese.”
Images + culture + character evolution – memorable and engaging
Over 1,000 color photos and illustrations. Each lesson includes a cultural note. Chinese characters are introduced through their evolution from oracle bone script, making them easier to understand and remember.
QR codes provide access to audio recordings. The workbook focuses on listening skills. By the end, learners can reach HSK Level 2–3.
Developed over three years and tested by real learners.
