ADVENTURES OF WALKER AND PING PING: THE CHINESE MARKET (LEARN CHINESE)

Outstanding! Kids loved it. They loved learning how to make Chinese food and about Chinese culture, art and language. (They learned how to say "nee hau.") Many repeated the Chinese words throughout the show. They really enjoyed the music and danced around to the song that came on in the middle of the program. They understood that they were learning about things in the Chinese market. The colors and sound were well appreciated, as was the music. One boy had been to the Chinese market and knew how to use chopsticks. Two tried to copy the calligraphy afterwards.

Wonderful show that explores Chinese culture and language. The premise of the show, of an American boy moving to China and learning about his new home, provides the perfect opportunity for his exploration. Brilliantly colored, 2D animation. Very engaging. The animation is well done with truly spectacular use of light. The score is wonderful. It is hip with a classic Chinese sensibility to it and the theme song as well as other songs are catchy and well produced. This offers a great way to learn some vocabulary in Mandarin Chinese. The story is fun and the animation beautiful. The key character, Walker provides a good guide for exploring Chinese language and lifestyle. The structure is somewhat like a Chinese version of the best-selling series, Dora the Explorer. The storyline is simple enough for young children to follow and well paced. Excellent production quality. Their website offers additional information and insight.

A quick shake of the joss sticks and our heroes Walker and Ping Ping are off on their adventures through China. In this episode, our favorite group of explorers heads to the busy alleyways of a Chinese street market.
