Intro
Chinese Out of the Box is a complete beginner kit for children ages 5–10 with no prior Chinese (Mandarin) experience. It builds strong listening and pronunciation skills by tapping into young learners’ natural ability. After just a few hours of active exposure, their pronunciation often surpasses that of college beginners.
The kit provides teachers with everything needed to introduce Chinese, engage students in meaningful activities, and guide them to use culturally appropriate behaviors.
By the end of the course, children can talk about themselves, discuss foods, identify familiar objects, and sound impressively accurate doing it.

Testimonial
Brian林:我是于 2020 年在李敏儒老师的介绍下开始接触 Chinese Out of the Box 的。我们的学生以学前班及小学四年级以下为主,多数家庭在家中并不使用中文。引进这套教材后,我们发现它非常契合学生的需求,孩子们的接受度也很高。
对于小学阶段的学生,尤其是就读当地 Immersion Program 的孩子,我们将它作为入门级课程,配合主教程使用,效果十分理想。我认为这套教材的设计非常出色,教学思路清晰、逻辑性强,也充分考虑了美国学生的学习特点和文化背景。其 lesson plan 与 teacher’s manual 对新手教师尤其友好,极大地提升了教学的系统性与可操作性。在此特别感谢吴伟克老师及团队的用心研发。
当然,对于以中文为母语为主的中文学校来说,双语班版本可能更为适合。唯一的小小遗憾是——教材价格确实不低 😅。但我个人认为,这也是对知识产权的尊重,以及对优质中文教育体系持续发展的支持。
