Rhythms and tones : inventive chants and songs for learning Chinese

Rhythms and tones Inventive chants and songs for learning Chinese

Pauline Jui Ling Huang

Book - 2010

Rhythms and Tones features 24 original, interactive songs and chants incorporating simple, every day language about real life topics of interest to young learners. The songs and chants are sequenced so that language scaffolds and builds on itself. Inventive rhythms emphasize the tonal quality of Chinese and natural Chinese speech patterns. Many of the songs and chants are based on "call and response" techniques, allowing easy learning of the patterns of questions and answers in Mandarin. This book and its accompanying CD offer a lively and enjoyable way for young learners to learn Chinese. The catchy rhythms and tunes are easy to learn and sing, and you may find children (and yourself) singing them all day long!
