Another Free Chinese
Mandarin Learning Resource
I found another
resource 好好学习天天向上
hǎoháo xuéxí tiāntiān xiàngshàng or the English
title Day Day Up!
- Chinese Free Online Chinese Mandarin Text book. I think it is a
rather long winded title in Chinese and English. However, it is
indeed free.
The methodology is that
vocabulary and sentences are presented in small pieces or chunking
the information. There is lots of repetition. The vocabulary is very
practical. Most of the sentences are well explained with grammar
notes. The site claims to have PDF downloads of each lesson but I
could find none. There are MP3s in each of the lessons. It is not the easiest site find what you are looking for.
The topics are;
- Origins and Nationalities
- Relationships and Modifiers
- Coming and Going
- Time
- Study
- Wants and Desires
- Likes and Dislikes
- Work
There is even some
humour scattered throughout the text. “It presents authentic and
practical language that is immediately useful – no more dialogues
about Beijing opera”. I have to thank my friend / fellow Chinese Mandarin Learner, Christine, for finding that gem. At the end of some sections you will find
“The horrors of pronunciation.” and “You cheeky monkey!”, to name a few of the sections.
Alas it looks like this
site was intended to also cover pre-intermediate to intermediate II
levels, but these pages are blank. It is a pity as it makes a very
good quick reference resource.
The site has a similar
feeling to the 中文Red中文Green
and 中文Blue
pages that I reviewed earlier. Overall, I find 好好学习天天向上
a useful site that I find myself visiting occasional. Day Day Up Chinese!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteMany people think that learning Mandarin Chinese is difficult. There is no doubt that learning to write Mandarin Chinese characters presents a formidable challenge that can take years to master. Thanks a lot....
