Dynamic Chinese level1 vol1

Dynamic Chinese, a new textbook series based upon the Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education, is compiled taking into account the 'four-sphere criterion' of syllables, Chinese characters, words, and grammar. Based on the nature and features of the Chinese language, the books provide explanations, exercises, and pictures to facilitate studying. Starting with the characters, the series teaches the Chinese language by referring to pinyin. It also focuses on training students' thinking of Chinese characters by teaching them how to form words using characters, form sentences using words, and organize the sentences into a passage. Therefore, it can significantly improve both teaching and learning efficiency. This colorful book series integrates the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing into real-life scenarios and lets students learn Chinese culture through pictures of Chinese characters. The exercises in the books take on various forms, and in each unit we offer such exercises as Distinguish and Remember, Explanation and Practice, Situational Dialogues, Study Resources, and Cultural Links. To further assist the students, pinyin, and digital resources like audio (scanning the QR codes) are also included.
