Foreword 你好!Nǐ hǎo! Welcome to the Meihua Chinese Learning series for Primary Schools, a series that was developed with the needs of primary school students, teachers and parents in mind. Our goal is to present a Chinese language-learning programme that is easy to comprehend and fun to learn. In both written and spoken forms, Chinese is significantly different from other languages around the world. As a result, there are certain challenges in introducing and guiding students to master Chinese. To meet such challenges, this series focuses on delivering the lessons in phases; starting with vocabulary that reflects the student’s daily routine needs, and the basic elements of the Chinese phonological system. Students will gradually progress into more complex and challenging language. Such delivery is reflected in the selection of phonics, pinyin, tones, characters, vocabulary and topics in each unit of the series. Meihua Chinese Learning Series emphasises the development of a solid language foundation, with systematic and interesting features in each of its units throughout six levels. Each level consists of ten units designed to be completed by a student within a school year with 2-3 hours of lessons per week (70-105 minutes per week). Once a student has completed Level 6 of the series, they will have studied over 500 Chinese words, and acquired the skills to write more than 100 Chinese characters independently. They will also be able to comprehend simple reading texts without pinyin and communicate in simple daily Chinese conversation. The learning in Meihua Chinese Series is dedicated to preparing students for the standardised International Chinese test, i.e. Youth Chinese Test (YCT), a Chinese proficiency examination for students at Primary and Middle school established by Hanban (a public institution affiliated with the Chinese Ministry of Education). By completing all six levels of this learning series, students are expected to possess the skills needed to pass Level III out of four YCT test levels.
