Thanks Brenda. Your dd can read very fast. For my ds, he takes quite long to finish chinese books. I think I shall check out Dangdang and get some in for dec holidays reading.

The 老猫 is very thin book though.

If you have an iPad and do not mind reading from it, you can get the whole series for lass than US$5. I bought it end of last year from the Apps store.

I would like to know more about this kameila series too. Kameila = a girl's name? so it is a story about a girl??? haha... just my wild guess..

It is about a chicken. the story content are good for discussion and the language use can be used for chinese essay in primary school. Good series to buy and keep.

Sorry, the kameila series with audiocd is this http://product.dangdang.com/product.aspx?product_id=20987854&ref=customer-0-B.


It's much pricier than the normal set (ie books only) - however the books are hardcover, there are some cutouts (supposed to be for puppet show) and the audiocd. I bought during an offer period - one can try waiting. FYI, this set is super duper heavy, so you may like to consider hard if you are looking to use forwarders like daigou (understand they charge by weight).

Thanks

Hi, recd today the 宫崎骏作品全辑 (收藏经典）, 12 DVD this morning and now dd is watching the show. The picture is very clear and wonderful. Their mandarin are also very clear and easy to understand without the CL subtitle. DD is still exploring how to select CL subtitle.


Haha. Good entertainment for this school holiday lah. :dancing:

Hi, some update:

Seems that we don't have the option to select the subtitle or dialogue. The following is the finding after watching a few show:

Two don't have subtitle at all
One with CL fan ti zi
One with Jpn dialogue but with CL jian ti zi

Nevertheless, the show are still interesting.
