Links

Links The following are links to all of the optional material mentioned under each of the sections. Explore! (A caveat: There is a lot of great material online about Chinese, and we have tried to share the best of it with you here; there is also a lot of material that is not quite accurate. As a result, while we encourage you to explore, be aware that unless you have a good reason to believe that the information is accurate, you should question it and verify through other sites and sources. Despite our best efforts to ensure that the links provided in this course contain only the best information, we cannot guarantee that all of the information on these sites is 100% accurate. If you find any bad information, or any links that do not work, please email the instructor.)
