Help your child navigate the official website for the TV show "Ni Hao Kai-Lan." Much like Dora the Explorer, this show entertains children while also teaching small lessons about Chinese language and culture. The website includes video clips, printable flashcards and full episodes of the show, as well as handcraft ideas and traditional Chinese recipes that can help get your kid excited about learning.
Watch and download podcasts. Educational podcasts that feature Chinese lessons can be found by searching iTunes, as well as the podcast directory Podfeed (see Resource section).
Make use of YouTube videos and channels dedicated to Chinese language study. Among the many options is the channel entitled "Peggy Teaches Chinese," hosted by Peggy Lee. She also gives private tutoring lessons via Skype, providing yet another way to engage your child in an online learning experience.
Try a demo version of Chinese educational software for children. One such website is Chinese for Smart Kids. The lessons are targeted for children between the ages of three and eight, and feature brightly colored animations. If you enjoy the online demo, you can purchase the full version at a later date.
