Power Chinese was designed to meet the specific learning needs of native English speakers. You can spend as little as 30 minutes a day and in just 8 weeks you will have covered the equivalent of one year of college-level Chinese.
|
|
Using an innovative learning strategy which breaks down and then reconstructs the Chinese language, Power Chinese will have you reading, writing, and using essential Chinese in no time.
Power Chinese begins by tackling the most difficult aspects of Chinese for the typical English learner, including pronunciation, tones, and key aspects of syntax and grammar. But don't worry!
|
|
| These and all other concepts introduced in Power Chinese are presented as comparisons to how things are done in English – allowing you to focus on those areas that are most different from English and making learning Chinese easier and more enjoyable.
Power Chinese is based on the same award-winning method that earned Power Japanese dozens of stellar reviews and awards. The Power Method – uniquely suited to meet the needs of busy learners – includes: |
|
- Memory techniques that make information more digestible and more retainable to adult learners,
- A less intimidating approach that leaves out information that is not absolutely relevant to understanding the language,
- Extensive use of graphics to heighten right-brain participatory learning.
|
- Fully animated stroke-by-stroke writing of the 600 most common simplified Chinese characters.
- More than 800 phrases and 1,200 sentences chosen for their high frequency in everyday speech. See these words and phrases over and over in sentences, in dialogs, and in video clips.
- Over 2,500 audio clips of words, phrases, and sentences all spoken by native speakers.
- Extensive interactive drills to help you retain what you have learned.
- Humorous dialogs to further promote retention of key phrases and concepts.
- Video clips of impromptu interviews with real people speaking Chinese in real-life situations.
Discover for yourself why Power Chinese is unique and unequalled among Chinese-learning systems. |
