Any chance of adding Ni hao vocab.

Hey guys, I just discovered your site and think it's great. I use Integrated Chinese with my high school classes so this will definitely help. Any chance of adding Ni Hao vocab as well? This is what I use in my middle school classes so I think it would help them out as well. Thanks.

Hi Gaolaoshi; glad you like Skritter. I have a wordlist for Ni Hao, levels 1 and 2, but since we don't have the book handy, I'm not sure if it's complete. The wordlist we have includes for level 1, lesson (chapter?) 2:

你好, 你, 好, 我, 是, 白, 大伟, 李, 兰兰, 再见, 同学, 们, 同学们, 林, 老师, 他, 早, 你们, 明天, 见

Does that match the vocab you're expecting? Are there just the two levels for Ni Hao?

Yes, that looks right. There are actually 5 levels of Ni Hao, but levels 1 and 2 would be sufficient, or at least a great start. Yellowbridge has flashcards of all the lessons for 1 and 2 on their site as well, if you'd like to reference that:

Thanks for such a quick reply. You guys are awesome!

Excellent; we'll probably support the first two levels of Ni Hao in a few weeks, then, and we'll do the other levels at some point (sooner if there's more demand).

Super!

Thanks.

Here's a vote for Ni Hao books three and four, which my class is using.
