This is the
multimedia courseware accompanying New Practical Chinese Reader
(Russian Edition), including two CD-ROMs, covering not only texts
(which are provided with reading and can be converted between
traditional and simplified Chinese characters and the pinyin or Chinese
characters in which can be either displayed or hidden), animations for
the texts, new words and pronunciations, but also such interactive
exercises as multiple-choice questions, true or false drills, and
matching exercises so that an interactive learning can be achieved.
Furthermore, the CD-ROMs provide a dynamic album of English
interpretations and captions for the cultural background relevant to the
texts, giving the learners an opportunity to learn about the Chinese
culture and conditions in a visual way. Two practical accessories are also included in the CD-ROMs: 1. A
small e-dictionary: All the new words in the textbook are provided with
pronunciations and can be found by typing in either pinyin or
simplified Chinese characters. In addition, the characters, pinyin,
parts of speech or English notes can be hidden to facilitate the
learner’s use and revision. 2. Syllables of Chinese Putonghua:
Tables of the consonants and vowels in the Chinese language are
provided, making it possible for the user to get more than 400 syllables
clicking the consonants and vowels; and when a syllable is clicked, the
standard pronunciation for it will be played for the beginners to
learn. This product can be used together with the textbook or independently.
