It is the difference between language competence and really understanding and feeling engaged with a language and culture. In these programmes, friendly teacher Xinwen shows us just how easy this can be. With phrases such as ‘What do you think about..?’, ‘What time is it now?’, and ‘You are very beautiful!’, this is a terrific way to unlock the mysteries of the Chinese idiom and society. Showcasing some of modern China’s most dynamic places, featuring real people in authentic situations, this resource brings China alive in any classroom.
