Are you tired of boring Chinese textbooks?
The kind that start off with Hello, my name is .... We are. Definitely. We know that learning Chinese is hard work - but why can't hard work be fun?
That's why we've created Oh, Jerry! - a Chinese (Mandarin) textbook based on a coherent story instead of dull dialogues. It starts very simply, but gets more and more intriguing. Can't stop reading? Well then - you will have to learn Chinese!
This is the story:
When Chinese teacher Qi enters his classroom, he finds a horse among his students - Jerry. Jerry is amazing. Despite being a horse, he speaks and writes fluently in Chinese, Japanese, German, and other languages. He also cooks, cleans, listens to music (and to the rain), is romantic, sensitive, gentle ... Soon enough, the teacher and Jerry move in together and become roommates. Qi thinks about Jerry day and night. But Jerry has a mysterious past, which could potentially complicate things ...
Oh, Jerry! is a parody on soap operas, a parody on fantasy novels, a parody on Chinese textbooks - but actually, it is a Chinese textbook.
Relevant vocabulary
We have carefully selected the most frequently used words in the Chinese language and made sure that the story is primarily made up of those words. Separate texts and exercises focus on conversational topics that will prepare you for real-life situations.
Simple explanations with visual aids
Is Chinese grammar a headache? It won't be with Oh, Jerry! Uncover the structure of the Chinese language with informal yet comprehensive explanations and plenty of easy-to-remember examples.
But writing Chinese is a nightmare!
Only if you learn Chinese characters without understanding their meaning - otherwise it's actually quite beautiful! Therefore we've included as much information as possible as to the background of each character. That way it will be much easier for you to understand the patterns of Chinese characters. We've also included video instructions on how to write the characters.
Practice online as much as you wish.
Repetition is the key to learning a language. We will publish plenty of exercises, a vocabulary trainer, videos about pronunciation, videos about how to write Chinese characters, and a whole lot more on our website www.skapago.eu/jerry - most of it for free.
Get help from live teachers.
Feeling stuck? We work with experienced Chinese teachers who know all the obstacles you might encounter and can help you with individual training. Since we teach through online video conferences, you can take lessons wherever you are on this planet. Schedule a free demo lesson at www.skapago.eu.
