Chances are that the Chinese learner in your life already knows and loves these blockbuster 迪士尼经典电影故事 (dí shì ní jīng diǎn diàn yǐng gù shì) Disney movies: 赛车总动员 (sài chē zǒng dòng yuán) Cars , and 头脑特工队 (tóu nǎo tè gōng duì) Inside Out!
The fact that these characters and stories are already familiar to young learners (and the fact that the English text is also on the page in case they don't remember something from the movie) means that these books are great for scaffolded learning.
Each of the books in this set is a 96-page story, providing more details than the 47-page Disney Classic 15-book set we carry, as well as a high-interest Chinese reading experience for your true Disney fan!
Perfect for a child with about 1000 Chinese characters under his or her belt to read independently.
Professional, smooth Chinese translation. Common language except for the translation of names.
Although transliterated names can seem difficult for young learners to grasp, language immersion experts recommend using names to help familiarize young learners with Chinese characters that they will encounter later. Although a phonetically translated name may seem to be irrelevant as a "word", each Chinese character in the name is usually a character that a Chinese speaker needs to know.
For example, lighting McQueen, translated into 闪电麦坤 ( shǎn diàn mài kūn ): 闪电, lighting; 麦, wheat; 坤 , universe, all are frequently used Chinese characters. In addition, the word 闪电麦坤 has become a "real" and common word as the popular Disney movie and story have become part of the Chinese pop culture.
Each page of the book contains either a word bubble for Key Vocabulary or Advanced Vocabulary.
Each book ends with a few exercises derived from the stories.
