Journeys 启程 (Secondary)
An Introduction to Chinese Language and Culture
Journeys invites the beginning-level student to explore the Chinese language and culture in an engaging, learner-friendly program. Journeys stresses linguistic accuracy by providing a solid grammar scope and sequence, plus accurate, clear, and jargon-free grammar explanations, as well as ample practice of new structures to provide students with a solid foundation.
What sets Journeys apart?
Journeys features a modern design with authentic content, engaging video, and powerful online tools.
