Foundation Mandarin Chinese New Edition (Learn Mandarin Chinese with the Michel Thomas Method): Beginner Mandarin Chinese Audio Course

Harold Goodman,Michel Thomas

Experience significant results in a remarkably short period of time thanks to the unique Michel Thomas Method, perfected over 50 years by celebrated linguist Michel Thomas. The method works in tune with how the brain prefers to receive, store and then retrieve information. You’ll stick with it, because you’ll love it.

* Pick up Mandarin Chinese naturally and unforgettably, without strain

* Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of writing or memorizing

* Build up your Mandarin Chinese in manageable steps by thinking out answers for yourself

How does it work?

During this eight-hour live course, you will learn the language along with two students, hearing both their successes and their mistakes to keep you motivated and involved throughout. Within the first hour you will be able to construct simple sentences, learning a revolutionary method that will enable you to effortlessly recall tones at the right moment. By the end of the course, you will have the confidence to understand and speak basic Mandarin Chinese. You will learn at your own pace, pausing and repeating where necessary, and complete the course in about 20-30 hours.

Why is it so successful?

‘What you understand, you know; and what you know, you don’t forget.’ - Michel Thomas

Michel Thomas believed that the greatest barrier to any form of learning was stress: stress from worrying about remembering what you are being taught, stress from being afraid to make a mistake, stress from failing.

With the Michel Thomas Method, all the attention is focused on removing stress and tension from the learning environment. The teacher takes on full responsibility for your understanding, and therefore your remembering, of what is being taught. In fact, the Michel Thomas Method forbids you from trying to memorize. There’s no writing, no books, no homework.

The Michel Thomas Method works by stripping away all inessential language and breaking down the most important language into its component parts. Crystal-clear building blocks are then presented, and only when they are absorbed and understood is the next piece of the puzzle introduced, enabling you to reconstruct the language for yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want.

What’s in the Course?*
