Lulu and Lenny Learn Chinese Numbers
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".
As parents, you want to give your child every opportunity to succeed in life. Learning Mandarin is one of the best ways to do just that.
It can provide children with cognitive, cultural, and career benefits. It is the most widely spoken language in the world and China's growing global influence makes it an increasingly valuable skill. By learning Mandarin, children can gain a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and history, which can help to broaden their perspectives and appreciation of different cultures. Join thousands of families worldwide and start your child's journey to fluency today with Chinese Playtime.
