Learning Mandarin is more colorful with Yánsè

The children have been learning about colors! If you want to give your Mandarin learner a fun review, watch the video clip below for a nice song presentation of the colors in Mandarin. You might also want to check out the other video clip for a different take on colors. In that clip, the word for balloon is introduced and the colors are presented in a simple phrase with the word balloon. Since it is always best for language learners to see how words combine together in the structure of a language, I think this is a good exercise. To help your learner even further, ask him/ her about the colors of objects you see around you. If your child doesn't respond enthusiastically in Mandarin, you can help them get excited about colors by watching the color song together.
