New Resources: Good News Br. Pīnyīn Plus EPUB & Web Material

Recent discussions with users have prompted me to develop a new type of material for language-learners in the Mandarin field. I am calling it Pīnyīn Plus material.


Pīnyīn Plus material focuses on helping publishers learn Mandarin speech, the primary language skill required in the Mandarin field. (1 Co. 14:8–11) Pīnyīn Plus material provides the language-learning and memory-strengthening benefits of flashcards, and integrates these benefits into the context of a publication’s Mandarin text, in the style of augmented reality (AR).


The first Pīnyīn Plus resources to become available are the following:

For now, proofread Pīnyīn Plus material covering from the front cover to Lesson 2, Question 2 is available. Also, partially proofread Pīnyīn Plus and Pīnyīn material covering to the end of Lesson 12 is available. Material with a grey background has been partially proofread. Pīnyīn material with a golden-hued background has been proofread, but not all of its “flashcards” have been added and proofread.


Here is a link to some information about the thinking behind the design of Pīnyīn Plus material:
