Learning spoken Chinese by rhythmic chants, the backbone of Easy Chinese Textbook Series, is intended for overseas youngsters to learn Chinese as a foreign language. There are altogether 8 volumes of textbooks. Each volume contains 6 units with several lessons in each. The most distinctive feature of this series is the rhyming texts, which allow students to read the texts aloud and memorize them easily. It was found that the method of “chanting/reading aloud” largely increases the fun of learning as well as students’ enthusiasm for learning.
This is Vol.2 of Learning spoken Chinese by rhythmic chants.
