Chinese Cultural & Educational Resources
We will be updating this playlist of some really helpful culture and language lessons. Most of them will be short and slow paced, but feel free to ask us for some more advanced material. We also provide tutoring in Chinese if you contact us!
Duolingo is a mobile app (android and apple) along with a website to learn many languages. For Chinese, it is great for basic sentence structures, but it is better for learning new vocabulary. It is very user friendly and gives instant feedback.
China Sprout
Provides quality Chinese cultural and educational products to families who have adopted children from China. Educational videos, books, accessories, clothing, crafts, toys and more! China Sprout is also an official U.S. licensee of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Another really neat thing they have is a weekly list of China-related TV programs. Check it out!
