The
CHINESE Language:
Chinese
is the mother tongue of over 1 billion people. Spoken Chinese has
varied regional dialects. The two most common dialects are Mandarin
and Cantonese. The pronunciation of the two are totally different.
The two are both tonal languages (different tones have different
meanings for the same sound.) and they also have different vowels
and consonants too. Mandarin
has four tones while Cantonese has more than six.
People
who can understand only either Mandarin or Cantonese can communicate
with each other by writing because they use the same written characters
with a few exceptions.
Mandarin
is the official language in Mainland China, Taiwan and Singapore.
The Mandarin dialect is used by most of the Chinese schools, colleges
and universities and in most TV programs, movies and radio stations
all over the country (even in Guangzhou or Canton where people
speak Cantonese in their daily lives.) Mandarin is one of the
five official languages in the United Nations.
Cantonese
is mainly spoken in Hong Kong, Guangdong (where Guangzhou/Canton
is the capital) and Guangxi provinces and most of the overseas
Chinese communities including Australia, Europe, North America
and other parts of the world.

The
Pimsleur Method:
With
Pimsleur language courses, you will quickly learn to speak Chinese
and understand it as well. You're not just learning "phrases"
with the Pimsleur method, you're acquiring essential, conversational
language skills! You'll be thrilled to discover you can hold real
conversations in your new language when you have finished the course.
Dr. Pimsleur devoted his life to language
teaching and was one of the world’s leading experts in applied
linguistics. After years of research and development, including
field studies of spoken language training with adults, Dr. Pimsleur
created a new method for self–instruction in spoken languages
that is based on the way the human brain takes in language as speech.
Of the several unique features of the Method, two key principles:
the Principle of Anticipation
and a scientific principle of memory that he called Graduated
Interval Recall This is the only language teaching program which
incorporates these essential principles to provide you with the
most easy–to–do, amazingly rapid, and highly cost–effective
learning method available.
