Lulu and Lenny Learn Chinese Greetings
The Chinese words throughout the book are spelled phonetically, where little or no language learning experience is required.
To sound words phonetically means to pronounce words based on their individual sounds or phonemes, rather than relying on the spelling or written representation of the word. This involves breaking down words into their individual sounds and using those sounds to say the word aloud.
For example, "Hello" in Mandarin Chinese is "Ni hao", and is phonetically sounded like "Nee-How".
