Hi,
Please visit my learn Chinese help website at: [www.chinesetolearn.com]
There, you will find many interesting topics, such as pinyin drill, tones drill, strokes order, Chinese songs, poems, famous Chinese people and important Chinese books you should know. My latest posting is the Chinese classic: The art of War by Sun Tzu
I build my site for my students, and I think if you love learning Chinese culture and the beauty of Chinese, you will enjoy my site too.
Have good time learning Chinese!

Great learning Chinese blog! I am glad that your website is updated often. I like the songs and poems translation and also those tips and tools about learning Chinese. Good job man!!!

Thank you for the encouragement. Have fun learning Chinese!

Puh-lease. Take the time to learn PROPER Chinese: Traditional Chinese or 繁體字 and use NOT hanyu Pinyin which is a time waster! Learn to input using other methods.

Thank you for the suggestion. I totally agree that using traditional characters are the best. Just the textbooks the school is using for my Chinese class is simplified character based. Also, the dominant Chinese classes textbooks in USA are based on the simplified characters too. It is disappointing to know that, but it is a fact. Speaking of Hanyu pinyin, it has its own benefit-- it can help non Chinese speakers learn Chinese faster if their mother languages are alphabetic, but personally I don't think pinyin helps much with the clarity or accuracy of pronunciation though. 注音符号 is better for teaching accuracy of pronunciation. But, it is rare that they use 注音符号 in USA. The purpose of my website is to help my students learn Chinese, and they are using simplified characters, that is why you see the simplified character and Hanyu pinyin on my website. Thank you for the comment and have a good day.

I just visited your site. I was surprised. Thank you for sharing.

I like those songs on your website. The translation helps me learn a lot of words. Can you put some Faye Wong's songs? Thank you!!!!

Hi Savannah,
Thank you for the suggestion
I put on a Su Shi's Ci poem Shui diao ge tou on my site and it happens to be a song too. There are two videos one sung by Theresa Teng, one by Faye Wong. I hope you will enjoy listening to them. It is a song about moon, and it also conveys a cultural meaning -- the Chinese people see moon as a symbol of connection. In ancient times, the time without CP, without telephone, ancient Chinese could get spiritual connection with the one they loved by gazing the beautiful moon in the sky. Let me know if you have any suggestion, thank you for visiting my website

Looks like you are a music lover!

Yes, I am and I also believe that by singing and immersing ourselves into the lyrics and the melody again and again, not only we can decrease the foreign accent greatly, but also have fun with learning the languages and the culture, or the thinking in the songs. Thank you for visiting my website and wish you good time every time learning Chinese

You are welcome I added some new posts -- basic Chinese, Chinese pinyin drill, Chinese allegories, and Chinese family titles and other very fine and hot Chinese songs. Hope they will help you with Chinese learning, and make sure to listen to the songs. I have been spending a lot of hours on the song translation, and I believe that immerse ourselves in the target language is one of the best ways to learn a language, and it is super fun too. Oh, don't forget the one Chinese sentence a day, it is getting interesting days by days

You have a bunch of good songs. You should make a list.

Thank you for the suggestion, I made a list for Chinese songs. Visit often and enjoy the songs with lyrics, pinyin, English translation, singer info and quotes too.Have a music feast.
