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. China Central Television has always attached great importance to teaching Chinese as a foreign language, producing various series of television programs for learners of different ages and professions. It has created opportunities for foreigners who have no chance to study 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. The content of each lesson primarily focuses on spoken language, with situational dialogues set through the daily activities of characters, reflecting specific language environments. This allows learners to gradually master daily communication skills in Chinese and develop interest in the language through spoken Chinese learning. To help beginners understand the meaning of Chinese dialogues and quickly grasp communicative abilities in Chinese, we have fully leveraged the advantages of television. We meticulously created situational dialogues and provided Pinyin, Chinese characters, and English subtitles for new words and common phrases on the screen. This ensures that viewers see what they are learning, creating a language environment and striving to deepen their impression.
