"[A] welcome option for families learning English as a second language." —The Old Schoolhouse on English with Abby and Zak

"Designed like storybook rather than textbook, the lively text and vibrant illustrations cover topics such as family, friends, and toys." —Learning Magazine on English with Abby and Zak

A fun approach to language learning, this resource is designed like a storybook rather than a textbook. Offering a bright and stimulating introduction to Chinese (simplified characters and pinyin), this guide covers a range of topics such as family and friends, school, toys, games, numbers, and colors. Along the way young learners will find quizzes to test their progress, a character practice section, and a handy wordlist for quick and easy reference. In addition, support is offered to help teachers and parents understand and master the basics of effective language learning.
