At the starting point of language learning, an extraordinary adventure filled with magic is about to unfold! 卓越 Global launches a brand-new Mandarin textbook series for children — The Magical Chinese Journey. The first book, titled The Opening of the Language Gate, guides children into the world of pinyin and Chinese characters, beginning a language adventure like never before.
The story follows two main characters — Adi and Liya — who accidentally enter a magical world of language. In this mysterious land, they meet Lulu the Language Guardian and Bobo the Formosan Black Bear, and face two major challenges:
1-1 The Phonetic Maze (Lulu’s Challenge)
In the Pinyin Forest, Adi and Liya must use sound magic to break through the phonetic maze. With Lulu’s guidance, they learn initials and finals, master the rules and mysteries of pinyin, and complete the sound puzzle to pass the test.
1-2 The Character Rebirth Stone (Bobo’s Challenge)
At the Language Gate, the children face Bobo’s character trial. They piece together broken characters and decode secret messages hidden in character gems. Through images and structures, they explore basic strokes and components, experiencing the beauty and logic of Chinese characters as they complete the rebirth ritual.
This series combines adventure storytelling with language learning. With interactive characters, task-based missions, and multi-sensory guidance, children’s motivation and comprehension are greatly enhanced. The curriculum includes textbooks, workbooks, and gamebooks, making learning both fun and challenging!
The journey starts here — let children fall in love with Mandarin, beginning with The Opening of the Language Gate.
