Just how did other parents find this parent-written book?
YF from Valley Stream, New York found Practical Chinese a good starter book. This parent thinks the repetition in the book is wonderful for YF’s 8 year old child. YF also recommends using the accompanying CD “because you can just play it in the background anytime which means that your child is exposed to and becomes familiar with the sounds.”
Linda from Holland, Michigan says her daughter “has learned so much more since starting with this textbook,” while Shirley of Washington said “I’m by using this program with my children. It’s great for character recognition and conversation. It is a spiral program so old words are constantly reviewed and expanded with new words. My children are liking it and making good progress. The purchase price is also very reasonable.”
