About the method & contents

The Mandarin Chinese Sentence Building textbook enables learners to make rapid progress while using the language as a platform to gain cultural knowledge. Inspired by the famous Michel Thomas method, learners repeatedly use words and characters in meaningful sentences using guided translation with optimal repetition and logical sequencing. Each sentence only uses words or characters that students have previously learned and all the characters are commonly used (high-frequency). The book also includes language that is especially useful for language learners and shares vital knowledge about the Chinese language and culture, etiquette, philosophies, history and traditions. The book is arranged into topics in a coherent logical format and is a complete resource for learners from beginner to intermediate levels aged 10 or over.
