These following two songs can be used to master these directional words–前/后/左/右/东/西/南/北 and location words–前边/后边/左边/右边。 Every time you are tired, get up and say out loud while acting out these songs. Try out different movements with these two songs; you can try kick boxing, clapping, or punching, Tai chi movement, etc. My students are having fun with these songs. You will get a good work out while learning Chinese directional words–A great way to master these directional words!
