The Program

Encounters: Chinese Language and Culture is a ground-breaking Chinese language instructional program for English speakers.
 
Reflecting years of international collaboration between Yale University Press and China International Publishing Group, Encounters is a fully integrated multimedia program for beginner-level Chinese that immerses students in the sounds of Mandarin Chinese while simultaneously exposing them to the sights and culture of China.  The program includes books, a full-length, broadcast-quality dramatic series filmed entirely on location in China, audio, and an extensive website with interactive exercises.
