Features: With China's reform and opening-up, China's interactions with other countries have become increasingly close, and the influence and usage scope of the Chinese language in 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, carry out cultural and technological exchanges, and enhance friendship and understanding. China Central Television has always attached great importance to teaching Chinese programs for foreign audiences and has produced a series of Chinese teaching programs tailored for people of different ages and professions. For overseas viewers, this provides a convenient alternative to classroom learning or coming to China to study, while also offering them a direct window into understanding China. The "Communicate in Chinese" textbook consists of 40 lessons (40 topics) in total, published as a set of four books. Each book contains ten lessons, with the last one being a review lesson. The teaching materials focus on spoken Chinese, with situational dialogues set through the characters' daily activities reflecting a certain language context. Students will find their interest grow as they gradually grasp the ability to communicate in Chinese. In order to assist beginners in gaining an innate understanding of Chinese dialogues and quickly acquiring communication skills, we made full use of the television medium to produce situational dialogues and provide pinyin, Chinese, and English subtitles on screen for new vocabulary and common expressions, so that what viewers see, they can learn, cultivating a language environment and leaving a lasting impression.
