Since our focus is on SPOKEN Chinese, we predominantly use Hanyu Pinyin and Jyutping for pronunciation guides. Traditional characters shall be used for Cantonese, and simplified characters for Mandarin. All relevant literature is assessed for accuracy and its ability to keep our children interested.
