Chinese Made Easy content and activities are designed to equip students who will take the following Chinese tests in the following countries :

· GCSE/IGCSE/A-Level Mandarin Chinese Exams in United Kingdom
· SAT II/AP Chinese Examinations in the United States
· IB Chinese Exam
· Australian Mandarin exams

Teachers will find that the lessons are prepared to optimize student’s learning of the Chinese language. The objectives of each Chinese Made Easy lesson are precisely addressed and built up as the lessons progress. Lessons are regularly consolidated and validated all throughout. The pacing of lessons is gradual. It gives consideration to the learning curve of students as they acquire Chinese skills. The entire Chinese Made Easy curriculum has 2 levels. Books 1, 2, 3 are level one, while books 4 and 5 are second level.

Karmen of Washington and Alice of Texas (also ChildBook customers) agree that Chinese Made Easy is a great tool to introduce Chinese to students. Karmen first taught Mandarin to a group of 6-9 year olds and has found that the books did a wonderful job of introducing Pinyin to students. She is planning to use Chinese Made Easy again as part of the lessons.

Teaching tools that can be used for school and home review are also available. Chinese Made Easy and Chinese Made Easy for Kids has a Teachers’ Guide that teachers and parents can use to guide their children in learning Chinese. Posters and flashcards may also be used in school or at home to reinforce the Chinese skills the student has learned.
