Introduction

Hello Friends,    

While there are numerous resources for learning Chinese, finding specialized vocabulary for cybersecurity and computer-related concepts can be challenging. This book aims to bridge that gap, combining Mandarin language learning with essential cybersecurity terminology.

Learning Mandarin is a complex journey, so don’t be discouraged if the material seems tough initially. To support your learning, we’ve included many interactive components to help you practice.

To complement this book, we recommend downloading the free mobile application, CyberChinese, available on both the Google Play Store(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hotmail.redefininggravity.LCLC) and Apple App Store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lclc/id6581483307 ). This app offers additional practice problems and a more comprehensive review of the vocabulary. Once you’ve memorized the answers to the practice activities in this e-book, their effectiveness as learning tools may diminish.  Unlike our e-book, which has a single correct answer for each question, the app provides randomly selected problems for thorough practice.

Immerse yourself in our story by stepping into the shoes of our four fictional interns and advancing your Mandarin vocabulary as they navigate the workplace. We hope you enjoy the journey.

Sincerely,
