Chinese for Everyone
This course will help you decipher Chinese characters
you encounter as you shop and travel. For example, on food packages,
in restaurants, and in Chinatowns near and far; as well as in Hong Kong,
China, Japan, Korea and all over Asia. The class begins with the TiENSTROKES™ Alphabet, a
shortcut to read and write the beautiful Chinese graphic characters. The phonic script is
Mandarin-Chinese, based on standard Pinyin, using the same 26 English
letters. And so, the course is accessible for everyone, especially
tourists, business people, and students. The textbook introduces basic tools
for parents and teachers interested in languages, graphic arts, and multilingual education
(Textbook: Chinese for Everyone™ by Dr. TiEN).
Instructor: H. C. Tien, M.D.
