Description AttachmentView attachment
I want to write 7 pages, in English, introducing Chinese language.

The pages would be:

1.Introduction to Mandarin Chinese language (presentation, history, the dialects in China, it is the official language etc..) 
2.Chinese pronounciation : list of sounds, vowels counsons or initials/finals 
3.Chinese tones 
4.Chinese writing system (characters, ideograms, simplified vs traditional, a few famous examples) 
5.Chinese pinyin writing system (history, other romanisations used previously, principles etc..) 
6.Chinese numbers 
7.Common Chinese mandarin phrases (ni hao & Co.) 

Every page would be around 400-500 words, with illustrations (tone symbols, character drawing, numbers drawing).

To give some ideas I have attached a few documents I found on the net, we can use some of the drawings or tables , but not the text.
