Diving into Chinese. Level 1 (+ CD-ROM)

This innovative series of books is designed to assist students in learning Chinese in a fun but highly structured way. Highlights include beautiful illustrations, independent pages for Chinese characters and pictures, pattern structures that reinforce Chinese sentence structures, and helpful vocabulary lists. Each book concludes with an English translation of the Chinese text. Different from standard English, the translations follow Chinese sentence patterns, which allow young readers to become accustomed to the structure of Chinese sentences. Upon completion of this series, students will learn approximately 300 vocabulary words, 550 Chinese characters, and 80 basic Chinese sentence structures.
