"I would definitely recommend this to someone who is serious about learning Chinese."
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - We tested this with Chinese speakers as well as non-Chinese speakers. Chinese speakers thought it was simplified and easy to understand. Non-Chinese speakers were definitely challenged but, by the end of the first lesson, they were indeed speaking Chinese. "It is so different from English or Spanish. I thought it would be easier." Our jurors did not get through the entire program, due to its length and complexity but they definitely got a lot out of the portion they did complete. They enjoyed seeing the Chinese people and how they interacted. "They had nice manners. I liked seeing the children at their school. It was cool to see the students." Younger kids enjoyed the Cd-Roms, older ones were very interested in the workbook.

What is terrific is the story that is constructed out of the words so that rather than being a random assortment of disconnected words, they begin to make sense in the context of the storyline. Also great is that many illustrations are given for a single word such as fire truck showing a real fire truck as well as a toy fire truck. We did not have a Chinese speaker evaluate it so we can't judge it in terms of accuracy. However, in terms of child development, it is suitable for young learners and if the words are accurate, presented well. Interactions among the toy characters are respectful. i.e. during the story, the characters help one another. Word choice is good, repetition good. It's a reminder that the toys are in a human context when a human hand moves into the screen to manually manipulate the toys. There was a slight technical problem at the onset of playing it but it straightened out shortly thereafter. At the end is a section for parents that serves as a review for the words. No English words are used in the teaching - only Chinese words. But, they are clearly illustrated. This program appeals to a special audience - those interested in learning Chinese. It is not for general entertainment.
