ShaoLan Hsueh, a Taiwanese entrepreneur based in London, couldn't find an effective way of teaching her children Chinese, so she developed a groundbreaking visual method to make reading characters fun and easy. By learning the most commonly occurring characters - the building blocks of the entire language - readers of all ages can swiftly grasp basic concepts and words. Chineasy Everyday teaches over 400 of the most used and useful Chinese characters, phrases and sentences. Organized into eleven themes that reflect our daily lives, it brings the stories and myths behind the characters to life, providing a unique perspective into Chinese history and culture. "Learning Mandarin just got Chineasy...May revolutionize the teaching of Chinese around the world". (The Sunday Times).

Lan Wu analyzes how Tibetan Buddhists and the Qing imperial rulers interacted and negotiated as both sought strategies to extend their influence in eighteenth-century Inner Asia. Revealing the interdependency of two expanding powers, Common Ground recasts the entangled histories of political, social, and cultural ties between Tibet and China.

This Box contains 60 flashcards that will help develop your Chinese vocabulary and pronunciation. To start learning the Chineasy way, just pick a card and flip it over.

Where Chineasy 's books, flashcards and memory game helped learners to recognize a diverse range of characters, this new workbook offers the opportunity to practise writing Chinese characters. Noma Bar's playful and appealing colour illustrations are interspersed with practical pages showing learners how to write the characters themselves. Short facts illuminate the meaning of a character or the origin of its shape, while a guide to the correct stroke order and grids to help with spacing allow learners to perfect their writing skills. Maintaining the innovative visual identity of the Chineasy brand, the workbook is the perfect complement to the existing range, but is also self- standing and doesn't require learners to be familiar with the method. Suitable for everyone from schoolchildren to businesspeople, it will foster a genuine appreciation of the Chinese language and provide a fun introduction to the art of Chinese calligraphy

Warum sind Insekten so großartig? Insekten können kriechen, krabbeln, flattern und graben. Es gibt sie in allen möglichen Formen, Größen und Farben. Sie leben an Land, unter der Erde, im Wasser und in der Luft. Sie sind überall und werden doch manchmal kaum wahrgenommen. Aber diese winzigen Kreaturen leisten Erstaunliches! Ohne Insekten gäbe es weder Obst noch Gemüse – und keine Schokolade! Sie bestäuben nicht nur Pflanzen, sie erhalten auch die Böden fruchtbar und gesund. Insekten produzieren Nahrung und sind selbst Nahrung für andere Tiere. Ohne sie wäre alles nichts.
