The Story Behind Champion Chinese: Devised by a Concerned Parent
The Champion Chinese System was devised by a concerned parent, Ms. Pei-Pei Champion. Ms Champion took her then 3-year old daughter to Chinese class and was horrified at how the children were uninterested in learning Chinese. She believed that the beauty of the Chinese language and culture were not justified with the way the lessons were presented to the children.
This motivated her to study the Bo Po Mo characters, until she found connections in the sounds and the images of characters. Later she developed simple mnemonic devices that let the children easily understand and connect the characters to the pronunciation.
ChildBook.com is now carrying the starter books of the “Champion Chinese Sounding Systems & Pronunciation.” The starter books include the Student’s Edition and the Teacher’s Manual. Audio CDs are also included for the Pronunciation Guide and drills.
