Hosted by teacher Jade Qian, Follow Jade! video series helps children learn to speak Mandarin Chinese with songs, stories, games and glimpses of everyday life in China. From the first moments of Follow Jade! Let's Go to Market in China, viewers are immersed in the sights and sounds of China. We visit markets where one can buy a range of fruits, from pu tao (grapes) to ping guo (apples). Parents can read along to the subtitling as each new word is introduced. Next, Jade visits with a group of children who use their new words to identify familiar fruits back at home. The other segments of this video follow the same pattern - introduction of the words in their cultural context, followed by reinforcing games, songs, and other easy-to-follow activities. Children will also visit a Chinese farm and learn about animals, body parts, action verbs, and clap and stomp along to a fun sing-along song. By the end of each video, kids—and their parents—will be speaking in Chinese!
