A fun and kid-friendly introduction to Chinese

The Tuttle Chinese for Kids Flash Cards (Simplified Character Edition) kit is an introductory Chinese language learning tool specially designed to help children from preschool through early elementary level acquire necessary words, Chinese characters, phrases, and sentences in Chinese in a fun and easy way.

The flashcards can be used as a learning tool in a classroom setting, at home, or anywhere that learning takes place, and can easily be taped around the room for an interactive way to learn Chinese. The set contains a total of 64 words, which all represent a range of sounds in Mandarin Chinese, organized into thematic categories, including: My Family, Colors, Numbers, Animals, Food, My Body, Clothes, and My Day. All of the words are illustrated--the pictures serve as useful visual aids to help children learn and remember each word's meaning. Words often reflect cultural objects and items and can be studied in any order. Learners may focus on one theme at a time or mix them up for a little more variety.

Also included in this kit is access to online audio recordings, which provide native pronunciation of the words, and sample sentences for practice--sentences that children would use in everyday life. Songs and other activities are also included as free audio files. Finally, the kit also includes a wall chart featuring the front of each card for kids to review and a learning guide for teachers and parents with tips, activities and more.
