Welcome to ChinaSoft, The Ni Hao Chinese Language Course

Ni Hao 2, Third Edition

The third edition of Ni Hao 2 offers a smooth transition from the introductory level to this elementary level, with stronger focus on the important sentence structures but a shorter vocabulary list. The language introduced is more frequently and functionally repeated. Less frequently used words are taken off the text.

Settings and illustrations are closely related to students’ daily life and are spiced with humor to lift students’ learning spirit. Funny cartoons are also added for reinforcement learning. There are two revision lessons for each end-semester sum up.

A new section “About Pinyin and characters” betters students’ knowledge on Pinyin rules and the origin of Chinese characters. In the Workbook, exercises are now catered for individual sections in each lesson. New items introduced in each section are grouped for easy learning and handy referral.

In addition to exercises, each lesson includes both the listening and reading tasks for summative learning and testing. The settings of these tasks often poke fun at teenagers to promote laughter.
