Here's what students and teachers like here: 1)Pinyin Master 2.0 (for pronunciation)- This CD-ROM contains sound tables, drills, practice exercises, and games. (Windows and Mac) 2) CyberChinese -This CD-ROM has video clips of all the Prac. Ch. Reader dialogs, transcripts in characters and pinyin (and the English translation), a variety of self-correcting exercises and animated characters (you can choose the speed of the animated character). You can choose either traditional or simplified characters to appear in the program. Students like the videos of the dialogs, particularly because the sound quality is much better than that on the tapes. (Windows and Mac) Both are published by Liwin http://www.liwin.com Carol Reitan On Mon, 11 Mar 2002, LLTI-Editor wrote: > --- Forwarded Message from "Norval Bard" <[log in to unmask]> --- > > >Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 09:36:18 -0600 > >From: "Norval Bard" <[log in to unmask]> > >To: llti <[log in to unmask]> > >Subject: Chinese software recommendations > > Hi, > > Wow!
