This exciting course for lower secondary students caters for complete beginners as well as those with some prior knowledge of the language.

 

The first Chinese series written for background and non-background learners, it provides a thorough foundation for progression to further studies of Mandarin Chinese. Jinbu depicts contemporary China and Chinese communities that students can relate to.

Student book

The student books include a wide variety of activities so lessons can be tailored for different abilities. 'Investigating characters' units show students how radicals relate to their meanings, making characters easier to remember.

The student books are rich in illustrations and photographs to engage students' interest.
