Chinese is quickly becoming a popular study choice as a foreign language but it can still be difficult to find resources and tools to support a Chinese learning environment. Penpower Chinese Expert provides the right setup by immersing learners in a Mandarin listening and speaking setting -- but with a twist.
 

Unlike most other Chinese language programs Penpower is a learning TOOL; not curriculum or teaching materials, but a customizable, open end tool that allows students to use it in their own way:

1. Open-end Tool

  • Penpower Chinese Expert uses phrase segmentation, speech recognition, text to speech technology, optical character recognition, handwriting and even machine translation software to basically convert any resource into a digital format.
  • Students can utilize any resource; magazines, books, and newspapers, and transform them into learning materials.
  • Students can also use the copy/paste function to turn Web-based articles and other digital formats into learning materials.
  • 2. Immediate Feedback

  • The Penpower tools combine a number of different elements to create a language environment that supports reading/writing, speech, and listening skills development.
  • Students can strengthen listening comprehension with the clearly pronounced text feature.
  • Students improve their speech ability with instant speech recognition correction feedback and oral exams.
  • Reading comprehension develops through the use of an onscreen phrase dictionary and online dictionary.
  • Student handwriting skills, an important element of learning Chinese, are supported through handwriting recognition technology.
  • Penpower Chinese Expert also provides a user community where students can share learning materials and encourage one another in the process.
  • 3. Choice of Tools

    • The Penpower Chinese Expert Writing Pad allows students to work with the Chinese language without having to learn complicated keyboard-based input methods.
    • The Penpower Chinese Expert Pen Scanner gives students the chance to fast scan any document in order to use the listening, reading, speaking, writing, and translation features.
    • Both options include software for listening comprehension, reading, speaking practice, writing instruction, and translation.

    In addition the Mandarin learning system includes lifetime software upgrades free of charge.

    To view a free sample lessons and to learn more about the software and tools please go to www.penpowerinc.com/3_0product/3_3pro.html or phone (510) 897-6615 or contact via email at sales@penpowerinc.com.
