Route Map

Due to our experience in studying and teaching English, we believe the most important thing to learn a second language is to blurt out! There might be things like grammar, vocabulary and so on. But we all know that memorizing alone is almost useless on a practical basis, and you can remember it for your lifetime if you use certain word or phrase correctly in some occasion.

So we will start with Pinyin, the way to pronounce Mandarin. Learning this you can lay the foundation to continue studying Chinese characters by any standard dictionary (there are alternatives, of course, and I will explain that later in the next article).

Then we can study (and we hope you can memorize) some useful everyday dialogue and words (nouns), which you can try to use either to you Chinese friends or in China town. Please note that so far there is no special emphasis on Chinese character so far. We think that you will find them interesting in this process and the only thing left is to memorize how it looks like--You already know its pronunciation, meaning, aren't you?

Along the way, we will help you keep accumulating the core elements of (everyday) Chinese and hope that it will build the blocks for you to really master this language.
