Frequently Asked Questions: Chinese Printable

What age is your Chinese printable for?

They are mainly for age 3-7, but some of the art & crafts, games, lesson plans can totally work for older kids.

What software do you use to create your printables?

I use Microsoft Publisher to make all of my printables. For my photos and clipart, my husband took all the photos and use Photoshop, I work with my friend who is an artist.  When the printable is ready to be uploaded to the blog, I convert the final version into a pdf file with Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Where do you find the clipart for printables?

I had a hard time finding good clipart, but now I get most of the clipart from my artist here you can get in my store. I also buy some clipart from TPT (Teacher Pay Teacher) or search for free clip-art online.

How do you make nine different language versions (Traditional & Simplified Chinese characters, jyutping, pinyin, zhuyin, and  English) for the printable?

First of all, I know how to type in Traditional Chinese on a computer.

Once I have the traditional characters, I use a Chinese character Converter to convert all the Traditional Chinese characters into Simplified Chinese, and I use a Pinyin Convertor and a Jyutping Convertor. I also use a Chinese font to create Zhuyin automatically when I type in Traditional Chinese.

Converting the characters is what makes the most time when creating printables, but I think it’s important to do it.
