Enjoy Life Forever! Br. Pīnyīn+ Web Resource Now Available

[NOTE: For spiritual food (which is for you yourself to learn spiritual things from, and which ideally should be in your own mother tongue), please go to jw.org.


The supplementary language-learning material mentioned in this post is for helping you to learn about how the Mandarin language is used in an official publication, so that you will be better able to help others in the Mandarin language field.]


The Enjoy Life Forever! (lffi) brochure is now officially recommended for use on Bible studies, and it is now part of the Teaching Toolbox in the JW Library app. Also, next month (September 2026), there will be a worldwide campaign featuring the Enjoy Life Forever! brochure. To help us Mandarin field language learners to be prepared language-wise to make good use of this brochure without being unnecessarily hindered by the Great Wall of Chinese characters that’s mandated by mere human tradition and cultural pride, the following unofficial Pīnyīn+ web material resource has been made available:

  • _Enjoy Life Forever!_ Br. _Pīnyīn_+ web icon
  • Enjoy Life Forever! Br.
    (Pīnyīn+, Web)

    (rich information about Mandarin speech
    for discussing basic Bible teachings,
    as represented by the text of the
    Mandarin Enjoy Life Forever! brochure,
    2021-07 Printing, proofread, mobile-friendly,
    PWA Logo can be used offline in supporting browsers,
    PWA Logo icon can be added to the home screen
    with supporting browsers,

    “flashcards” integrated with the text,
    (tap/click on a Pīnyīn expression
    to reveal its
    “flashcard”,
    tap/click on a “flashcard” or its Pīnyīn expression
    to hide the
    “flashcard”),
    Pīnyīn (Pinyin) used as the default writing system,
    carefully done human-translated
    context-appropriate English translations
    with literal & effective meanings,
    Simplified & Traditional characters,
    📖 Reveal All, 📄 Reveal Advanced, and
    Reveal + Symbols controls
    for all the “flashcards” and + symbols

    Enjoy Life Forever! Brochure Links (tiandi.info/lffi)

Videos are used extensively in the Enjoy Life Forever! brochure, and a noteworthy feature of the above resource is Pīnyīn+ video transcripts. These should help us Mandarin field language learners to analyze and understand the Mandarin speech used in the videos referenced in the Mandarin Enjoy Life Forever! brochure. This in turn should help us make more effective use of these videos while participating in Mandarin Bible discussions using this brochure.


Also, using the Pīnyīn+ video transcripts while watching and listening to the corresponding Mandarin videos gives us good practice at listening to Mandarin speech, with help when needed so that we can actually follow along and understand it, and learn to use it ourselves in the future.

In the above resource, material is now available covering the entire Enjoy Life Forever! brochure. This material matches both the current 2021-07 Printing of the Mandarin Enjoy Life Forever! brochure and the current 2026 Study Edition (nwtsty) of the Mandarin NWT Bible.


(NOTE: While the organization expresses valid general concerns here about posting copies of official publications to the Internet, there are good legal and spiritual reasons for concluding that those concerns do not apply to this particular material, since such material should NOT be considered to be infringing on copyright, and since such material is specifically designed to be, NOT SPIRITUAL FOOD, but rather, material FOR LANGUAGE LEARNING.

Videos are used extensively in the Enjoy Life Forever! book, and a noteworthy feature of the above resource is Pīnyīn Plus video transcripts. These should help us Mandarin field language learners to analyze and understand the Mandarin speech used in the many videos referenced in the Mandarin Enjoy Life Forever! book. This in turn should help us make more effective use of these videos while participating in Mandarin Bible discussions using this book.


Also, using the Pīnyīn Plus video transcripts while watching and listening to the corresponding Mandarin videos gives us good practice at listening to Mandarin speech, with help when needed so that we can actually follow along and understand it. This can help us to learn to understand and use such Mandarin speech in the future.
