Description

Instant Immersion™ Mandarin Chinese

  • The quickest way to learn a language, guaranteed!
  • The most widely used method in the world!
  • Written and Developed by University Language Experts!

Designed to emulate everyday situations you may experience while in a foreign country, the Instant Immersion™ Mandarin Chinese course fully prepares you for interaction among native Mandarin Chinese speakers. Developed by university professors and linguistic experts this thorough curriculum moves you from a beginning speaking level to an intermediate level, fast- simply hear the words in Mandarin Chinese, their English translation, and then repeat. Starting with a complete phonetic introduction to the alphabet (each sound is also demonstrated with a vocabulary term), this audio program focuses on building a strong vocabulary base of commonly used terms. Each advancing part includes concepts from the previous lessons, ensuring you retain each core principle. As you progress, you’ll easily apply verbs and vocabulary terms to informal and formal dialogue. In addition, the cultural notes introduce you to ethnic foods, Chinese traditions, and appropriate etiquette that will benefit you while traveling.
