Now, there are more and more Chinese learning English via listen to or sing English songs, that really gives me an idea that maybe I should open a music column to help the friends who need help to learn Chinese via learning Chinese songs.

So, in May, 2005, when I started my work on Chinese language, I started a Chinese modern Lyrics column. Then, as soon as I update my Chinese folk songs and art songs column, you can see their lyrics in this column and also you can hear me to sing it in Chinese.

For make you work easy, I translate all of the lyrics and offer them Chinese pronunciation. I think, along with the work that I am doing on Chinese classical poems and Daily Chinese part to explain every new word's meaning and read them for you, I am sure, you can find them in the new words board more and more and you will be convenient to read and under Chinese more and more...

I am thinking to make The Daily Chinese Column for the friends who are beginning, The Chinese Classical Poems for then middle level friends, Chinese Vs. English Column for the advanced level friends. Also, I would like this column work for all friends to train your ears and your listening ability because I feel the listing is the most difficult. part in a language learning. So, I would really like to do my best to help you to have a couple of very sensitive ears to Chinese. :-)

Anyway, I am just a learner on the work. So, I do hope to get your support, direction and help. If you have any questions, comments and suggestions, please write to shirley@ebridge.cn , or shirleyz004@yahoo.com, or publish your opinions in Forum For Friends. You are welcomed.
