“What is the first thing that a baby does when it comes into the world？”Sarah Lu asks in one of the beginning lessons of her new language manual entitled Mandarin Hip Hop．The baby cries．And with that very first cry，the newborn begins to communicate and establishes bonds with the people who are nearby rejoicing at that piercing squeal．And，soon to follow that cry will be the baby’S first giggle and laugh．an expansion of its sound repertoire with which it expressesits needs，fears and happiness．With more giggles and cries，a child mimics the adults，experi．mentmg with various strange sounds and associating them with things and deeds jn the sound．ing world．A mother tongue begins as a foreign language，a speech that a child learns through im．itations and repetitions．The learning is never short of challenges，but each challenge is surely to come with fun and appreciation．Fun invites participation and fun promises gratification．No fun，no gain．Fun is indeed the key that characterizes Sarah’S philosophy in teaching and learning Chinese．a language whose graphic and tonal complexities are often found to be an ultimate chal．1enge to linguistic sophistication．
As her book title indicates，Sarah teaches through chants and songs in the language manual．Children have a natural inclination for music．With its rhythmic flow from word to word，language readily translates into music．Sarah makes a special effort to evoke that musicality inspeech and turns it into a source of motivation and enjoyment in language learning．She choosespopular musical tunes and folksy chant patterns for winsome Chinese lyrics that she composesherself．She correlates the musical pitch with the particular tone of a Chinese word，a skillful de．sign that enables easy acquisition of lexical tones．She mixmatches the Chinese lyrics with Eng．1ish words and phrases，and offers the combinations as mnemonic reminders of vocabulary．Shebuilds complex sentence patterns into seemingly simple chants that help to consolidate the struc．tural foundation in grammar．She tells stories that highlight cultural particulars．including social．historical and geographical information that iS crucial to meaningful conversation．especially withnative speakers．The CD recordings that accompany the texts are essential performances by bilin．gual children，an arrangement that cheerfully invites students to ioin in and sing along．In short，Sarah makes learnin~~Chinese fun rather than a chore．
