The student workbook for Ni Hao, Volume 4 provides a variety of activities using all four communication skills, corresponding to the lessons in the Ni Hao, Volume 4 textbook. Activities can be adapted to suit the needs of the class or the individual. Chinese characters are used in conjunction with pinyin throughout the book to reinforce the student s reading and writing skills. By Volume 4, students are required to write almost exclusively in characters. Very few characters have pinyin listed. Characters learned are listed in the textbook in each lesson and included in the Writing Exercise section of the workbook. Both are illustrated with stroke order. This workbook is in traditional characters only.
