We currently offer a range of flashcards based on the Practical Audio-Visual Chinese (PAV) range of textbooks produced by the National Taiwan Normal University - the most widely-used series in Taiwan.
Flashcards include the character(s) to be learned, pronunciation in both Hanyu Pinyin and Zhuyin (Bopomofo), plus other information like the book number, chapter number, and the order the vocabulary appear in within the book.
NTNU have recently renumbered their textbooks, although the content remains virtually identical. The flashcard sets below are for the old textbooks (still widely used) - sets for the new series will be coming soon.
Practical Audio-Visual Chinese Book 1
NT$1,350
An introduction to studying Mandarin, including both the Zhuyin (Bopomofo) phonetic symbols used in Taiwan and the Hanyu Pinyin used in China and the rest of the world. Our flashcards include both systems to provide the greatest benefit to learners.
Practical Audio-Visual Chinese Book 2A
NT$1,350
The second book introduces some more conversation-based topics and, of course, will build up your vocabulary further. The series used to consist of books 1, 2 and 3, but along the way a decision was made to split the second book in to two parts, to add more dialogues, lessons and vocabulary.
Practical Audio-Visual Chinese Book 2B
NT$1,350
The third book in the series, and the completion of the 'intermediate' section of the course.
Practical Audio-Visual Chinese Book 3
NT$1,350
The final instalment which contains more advanced sentence structures and handles complex concepts and structures. Finishing this book is by no means the end of the line in terms of learning Mandarin, but it will give you the right boost in to the world of Mandarin as a living language.
