Learning Chinese

Yahoo groups have been a treasured resource for me as an adoptive parent. I've learned so much from the experience of other parents who are rearing Chinese daughters. Now that my daughter is two-years-old, I've been researching language learning DVD's that may be helpful for introducing her to Chinese/Mandarin (and for me as well). A very helpful parent, on the Raising China Children Yahoo group, listed the following resources. (Thanks to Mary Ann for providing this list!)

Tuttle Chinese for Kids (Love this because it comes with flash cards)Not only flash cards but lots of sentences as well, this is a car favorite.
