What parents say about CME

• Both my girls have used the Chinese Made Easy
   Series in their Chinese Conversation class.
   Good quality book.  Nicely illustrated.  They
  don't mind listening to the CD because some parts
  are rythmic and fun for them.

What parents say about CME

• It's a great book. Full color. Very attractive
  to young children. Started with easy dialogues
  and characters.

What parents say about CME

• The accompanying CD is great for hearing
  pronunciation. I find myself repeating phrases in
  my head that I can't necessarily translate, which
  is a more natural way of learning than
  translating first. My 5.5 year old daughter
  really likes to listen to the CD and follow along
  with the rhythmic "songs/poems."
