Welcome to the Teach Young Children Chinese Introduction Series!
Lesson 1. Set Up Your Bilingual Home
Home Labels is a collection of Chinese names of household items in easy to read Chinese characters. You can place them on each item to display in your home. These labels are designed to be a visual tool to connect spoken language with the Chinese written words.

Polite Words for Mealtime are daily expressions for mealtime. You can place them in the dining room, on the dining room table, or use them as bookmarks. These bookmarks are a visual tool and quick reference for practice and review.
