Details on using points for buying discount coupons for items will be announced later (working through some technical hitches, and not sure how long it will take...)

Referral program special promotion will not be extended but we may bring back a promotion at a later date (though unlikely to be soon).

Is the trial version still valid? 

Yes, you should still be able to download the Chinese trial Categories.

Hi Cyncyn,

After downloading the Chinese trial Categories, simply double-click on the file and Little Reader will open automatically to import your sample lessons.

Um... I have tried, but doesn't work.
Would you mind give me the link for dowdload the Chinese Curriculum?   Just make sure I got right one.

Here are the links for both Chinese trial packs again:

Chinese (Simplified) - http://d2.brillkids.com/upload/files/lr-cn-demo/BK-CN-Simplified-Demo.lrp
Chinese (Traditional) - http://d2.brillkids.com/upload/files/lr-cn-demo/BK-CN-Traditional-Demo.lrp

We've tested these links and they work fine from our end -- is it possible that your Internet connection was interrupted while you were downloading? If so, this could result in an incomplete file (or even a corrupted file), that will not work.

I suggest that your try downloading again, and hopefully you'll be able to download the file completely

Hi everyone, I have a question: I want to buy the simplified Chinese language pack, but since it is a language which is totally foreign to me, will it work to just let the program flash itself on automatic? When using the English version I use the pointer a lot, but have no idea how this works with Mandarin. I don't even know how you read characters (right to left, left to right, or top to bottom). Any info from native Mandarin speakers on how or whether to use the pointer would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Liv,

It would be better if there was interaction involved, but there is certainly still a lot of benefit even if it's passive viewing.  I'm sure, though, that you will know what many of the characters mean when you see the words, so you should be able to interact with your child.

There is less need for a pointer in Chinese.  Most Chinese writing nowadays (including our curriculum) is read from left to right.  The slides you see will start out by just having one character, so no pointer is appropriate there.  You CAN choose to use the pointer when there are 2 characters or more, but we haven't done that by default in our new v2 Chinese Curriculum (LR v2 beta - just released to a limited number of people - has an auto-pointer function in case you didn't know).

Great, KL, tx so much for the information. Can't wait to use it. My daughter loved the trial!

Could you please help me work out how to load the Simplified Chinese Curriculum Trial file.

I downloaded BK-CN-Simplified-Demo.zip from this thread on 22 Nov 2010 and have just today tried to upload it to LR. I still have LR version 1.6.324.

When BK-CN-Simplified-Demo.zip is unzipped I get a folder called BK-CN-Simplified-Demo which contains a folder called Pack which contains a number of folders. There doesn't seem to be a file to select when I try to import into LR and clicking on BK-CN-Simplified-Demo from Windows Explorer does nothing for me.

Could you please help me with the steps I am missing. I feel very silly as so many people have uploaded and enjoyed the trial while I am stumped.

Thank you,

Mum.

I've just downloaded the demo for the simplified curriculum and the characters aren't there. I have pictures and audio, but just an empty box where the characters should be. How can I fix this?

[NadiaD]

I have the same problem as Mum. 

I downloaded BK-CN-Simplified-Demo.zip from this thread on December 30.

When BK-CN-Simplified-Demo.zip is unzipped I get a folder called BK-CN-Simplified-Demo which contains a folder called Pack which contains a number of folders. There doesn't seem to be a file to select when I try to import into LR and clicking on BK-CN-Simplified-Demo from Windows Explorer does nothing for me.

Could you please help me with the steps I am missing.

I also wanted to purchase BK-CN-Simplified from the online store and could not, once I tryied to proceed to checkout to enter my friends affiliate code, the page is started  loading endlessly.

Sorry we missed your posts!

For Mum and NadiaD:
Were you using Internet Explorer, by any chance? If you were, then your download problem is likely caused by a security feature in IE (especially IE 6 to 8 ), where the file you are downloading gets renamed automatically to another filename extension like *.zip. To get around this browser bug, you may opt to re-download your Chinese Trial file using another browser, or you can just rename the file to correct the filename extension. After doing this, you should be able to import your Trial files successfully

For detailed instructions on how to do this, please refer to this Support article: http://support.brillkids.com/index.php/article/content-files-saved-as-zip
** If you want to just rename your previously downloaded file, note that the correct filename extension of the Chinese Trial files is ".lrp"

Kindly note also that we'll be uploading the LR 2.0 versions of Chinese Trial files within the day (the files at the beginning of this thread will be replaced), so if you're re-downloading now, you have to have LR 2.0 [BETA] installed already.

For Ezhik:
Can you kindly confirm if you've already installed Chinese language support in your computer? It may be that you don't have this yet, and this causes the Chinese characters to appear as boxes.
If you haven't done this yet, you may find instructions in this Support article: http://support.brillkids.com/index.php/article/how-to-use-little-reader-with-diff-languages

Let us know how this works for you.
