Suggested Grades: 2-HS
This site has:
Pictures, Sound Effects, Words spoken in Chinese. It kind of has a picture dictionary.

“This is a quite interesting site. It may help students who are in 2nd grade and older, but younger students may not be too interested in it. It has words in Chinese language as well as sound effect and pronouncing the Chinese words. It has no pictures, videos, or games. It can help 2nd to High school students. Teachers can use it too. Students can learn many words from this site.”
----AWL 8th grade-Jazmin

“I liked how it had the words spoken in the language when you click on the word, it is very helpful. I disliked that it didn’t have any pictures or videos or even learning games, so it makes the site very boring. The only thing that I think will help a student is the words being spoken in the language.”
