About the Series
Description of the video:
"Learning Chinese Provinces" is a series of three videos for travelers, students etc. who have an interest in China. The goal is to present the names of the provinces in a way that emphasizes their meanings.
All three videos of the series are available in English, Spanish, and French. The first video in the series is also available in Italian.
Although the goal of the videos is NOT to teach the Chinese language, you will be able to see that by learning just a few words of Chinese, many province names are logical and easy to understand!
The videos are about locations, not politics. So it is the place names that is emphasized, not the details about which are provinces, which are autonomous regions or special administrative areas.
Enjoy!
