Speak Chinese

Katy R. Kudela
My First Book of Mandarin Chinese Words
Capstone, 2010

This book is not going transform your little one into a bi-lingual wunderkind, but it is a colorful and attractive enticement for learning the mandarin Chinese names for people and objects around the house, on the farm, in town, and in a school room. It's hard for me to imagine learning accurate pronunciation from Romanization alone. But, if you have access to the internet, though, you may easily make up for the most obvious deficiency in this book. For best results, you will probably want to start your child before age 4. Jiayou 加油!
