# Learn Chinese reading the Gospel.

*LEARN BY READING WHAT LASTS*

太初有道. In Chinese, the Word of John’s Gospel is 道, the Dao.

- **Read.** A few lines a day. Under every word, how it sounds and what it means, and your own language below it all.
- **Tap.** Tap a word you want to keep: its dictionary form and its meaning.
- **Remember.** It comes back today, tomorrow, and further apart each time, just before you’d forget it.
