In that programme, the host and hostess will lead you to visit many touirst attractions as well as teaching you Chinese. Personally, I think that it is a good way to learn Chinese. However, it is said that "Happy China" has been stopped due to its low view rating. What a pity! Don't be annoyed. The DVD has released and you can buy them to learn Chinese. It is called "快乐中国学汉语 (Kuai 4 Le 4 Zhong 1 Guo 2 Xue 2 Han 4 Yu 3)" in Chinese. By the way, I have found the videos on CCTV website. You can watch them online.

However, I guess that few foreign Chinese learners can read those characters on the screen if there is no English translation. Can you read those Chinese characters? It is really a good thing to learn Chinese as well as "visiting" beautiful scenery in China.

Zoey,

Well this week is my 4th week learning Putonghua. I am not sure how long it will take to get fluent. I try to surround myself with Chinese all day. I have 3 Chinese channels: Sino, ETTV and CCTV4.

I enjoy watching some soap opera called Rogue. And some cooking and game shows. The news media on CCTV4 talk really fast...at least for me!

The link for Happy China doesn't seem to work anymore.
