Author Description

Ni Hao, Level 2 (3rd edition) consists of a student textbook, student workbook and four audio CDs. Lessons 2 and 3 have been renamed but the content is primarily the same. Lesson 6 was eliminated. One more review lesson has been added as Lesson 5. A new section "About Pinyin and characters" has been added to this new edition. It highlights some areas that students would like to know when learning the rules of pronunciation. In the student workbook the first section of each lesson provides word recognition practices instead of listening to statements and identifying the picture as in the 2002 edition. The audio CDs cover all sections in each lesson which provide support to students for independent listening opportunities. The sections in the student textbook and workbook exercises are clearly annunciated.
