Hi,
I highly recommend purchasing the whole package from wink to learn-speak and read chinese and sing to learn chinese. They are the best chinese learning products I have come across. (I have bought quite a few.) They use large chinese characters to teach. Similar to doman program they teach words then couplets to sentences. The pictures are clear and beautiful. Its worth every $$ with no regrets to this purchase.
My daughter particularly loves watching disc 6 as it has children pronouncing the words and always constantly asking to watch the 2 girls and baby reading.
The sing to learn is also the best learning material I have. It has lots of catchy songs and songs with popular tunes to them. What I like most is that it teaches some of the words to each song before they are sung. Those words are displayed in large clear fomat. The chinese characters are highlighted as it is sung, similar to karaoke but these words are much larger and clearer. My daughter loves watching it and so do I!
So much that I have recently bought volume 2 and 3 as well!
