CHINESE LANGUAGE VIDEO CLIPS
1-50



Fifty video segments from footage shot on location in and around Beijing, including: an interview with a girl about her favorite toys self-introductions by college students an off-the-cuff introduction to taxis and buses. Filmed on location in Beijing, mostly at Peking University, these naturalistic video clips, ranging from less than one minute to eight minutes in length and consisting chiefly of unrehearsed interviews of ordinary folk, offer valuable source material for Chinese language teachers at all levels. Six topic areas are represented: personal information, commercial transactions, travel and leisure, health and sports, food, and school. Chinese Language Video Clips are not lessons but "raw material" -- video segments shot in China to be.
