Music Videos

One of the great nights of studying Chinese was when I went on to youtube.com to check out their selections of videos to immerse myself into the chinese language.  I came across music videos, and having come very close to completing Integrated Chinese Level One, Part One I could understand a couple of songs.  Here is my favorite one that gave me a real boost of confidence:

You can sing right along with it after listening to it one to two times.  There are subtitiles in traditional characters.  There are a lot of other songs you'll find too!  Have fun!!!

New Vocabulary Study Tools

Yongan Wu at the University of North Florida has developed a suite of vocabulary study tools correlated to Integrated Chinese. To try out this program, please download the attachment.
