Real life in Beihai
Three videos from the city our students live in: the beach, the old street, and the weeks after you arrive. Watch them in order, then drill the words you heard.

Practise what you heard
Two drills over the same 12 words: type them from the characters, then recognise them by ear.
Word 1 of 120 right so far
Read the word, then type its pinyin. Tones and spaces do not matter.
Where these words get used
Every course in the library starts as something that happened in Beihai — a class, a game, a market stall — and the photographs here are from the same days.
