LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Baby Learns Chinese DVD series and flashcards teach your child to speak Mandarin (Putonghua) and read the Chinese characters (both traditional and simplified to be selected by you). As each chapter unfolds, your child will build his/hers Chinese vocabulary and gain a head start in speaking and reading Chinese.

The Baby Learns Chinese system is comprised of three DVDs, Flash Cards and a Boxed set of all (3 DVD’s and flash cards) focused on teaching young children the language. Baby Learns Chinese is the only language program in the market that teaches kids to not only speak but also read Chinese. It is a unique total language immersion method of learning. While the product is geared towards children up to age six, it will work for any age target interested in learning Chinese (Mandarin).

Baby Learns Chinese works in families where the parents speak Chinese and in families who are native English speakers. According to Yama Chan, who speaks Chinese, “I created Baby Learns Chinese with top educators to help my sons learn the language. I started using the flash card method to teach my twin boys how to recognize Chinese characters and English words. They were almost 1 year old at that time. I found that even though my boys could not speak yet, they were able to recognize the Chinese characters after seeing them a few times. It actually took them longer to learn English words. I think my boys found Chinese characters easier to remember because Chinese words are inherently images. To them, each Chinese character is a picture that represents a certain object. It doesn't matter how complicated the Chinese character is, as long as the character relates to things that they are familiar with in every day life, they had no problems recognizing and reading the characters. By age 2, my boys were able to recognize about 100 Chinese characters. They are 5 now and they love reading Chinese books.”

Baby Learns Chinese helps parents help their children. Unlike European languages which are focused on phonetic learning, Chinese language learning builds from memorization. The capacity of a child to memorize is at its best when they are still young. Baby Learns Chinese helps young children maximize their potential to learn the language.
