Features: With China's reform and opening-up, exchanges between China and other countries have become increasingly close. The influence and usage of Chinese around the world have also expanded. Chinese is becoming an important tool and bridge for many countries to develop friendly cooperative relations with China, engage in economic and trade activities, conduct scientific and technological cultural exchanges, and enhance friendship and understanding. CCTV has always attached great importance to teaching Chinese as a foreign language, producing series of television programs for Chinese language learners of different ages and professions in various formats. It has created opportunities for foreigners who do not have the chance to learn Chinese in classrooms or come to China, while also helping them gain the ability to directly understand China. To facilitate the learning of the "Communicating Chinese" television series by domestic and international audiences, we have organized the television programs into textbooks and produced accompanying audio cassettes and VCDs for review purposes. The "Communicating Chinese" textbook consists of 40 lessons, published in four volumes. Each volume contains 10 lessons, with Lesson 1 being a review lesson. The content of each lesson primarily focuses on spoken language, setting up situational dialogues through the daily activities of characters to reflect certain linguistic environments. This helps learners gradually master everyday Chinese communication skills and develop interest in the language through spoken Chinese learning. To help beginners understand the meaning of Chinese dialogues and quickly grasp Chinese communication skills, we fully leverage the advantages of television, meticulously producing situational dialogues and providing Pinyin, Chinese characters, and English subtitles for new words and common phrases on the screen. This allows viewers to see what they are learning, creating a language environment and striving to deepen their impression.
