  Pimsleur Chinese Language Courses

The Pimsleur Method:

With the Pimsleur Language Programs you don't just study a language, you learn it -- the same way you mastered English! And because the technique relies on interactive spoken language training, the Pimsleur Language Programs are totally audio -- no book is needed!

   The Pimsleur programs provide a method of self-practice with an expert teacher and native speakers in lessons specially designed to work with the way the mind naturally acquires language information.  The various components of language -- vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar -- are all learned together without rote memorization and drills.  Using a unique method of memory recall developed by renowned linguist, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, the programs teach listeners to combine words and phrases to express themselves the way native speakers do.  By listening and responding to thirty minute recorded lessons, students easily and effectively achieve spoken proficiency.

   No other language program or school is as quick, convenient, and effective as the Pimsleur Language Programs.

   The Pimsleur language courses are offered in both the "Basic" and the "Comprehensive" programs.  The Comprehensive Program is the ultimate in spoken language learning.  For those who want to become proficient in the language of their choice, the Comprehensive programs go beyond the Basic Programs to offer true spoken-language fluency.  Using the same simple method of interactive self-practice with native speakers, these comprehensive programs provide a complete language learning course.  The Comprehensive Programs are available in a wide variety of languages and run through three levels (thirty lessons each).

   At the end of a full Comprehensive Program listeners will be conducting complete conversations and be well on their way to mastering the language.

Pimsleur Chinese (Mandarin) Comprehensive Audio CD Language Course, Level 1.  Includes 30 instruction units of 30 minutes each on 16 audio CD discs.

Review by customer:  "This was a very solid method of learning that focuses heavily on speaking and conversation.  Learning characters at the same time as the speaking language can be very intimidating and most professors would agree that there should be a substantial amount of lag between the spoken and written Chinese. 
   The Pimsleur method does not offer character knowledge, but it does allow a student to grasp the tones and sounds which are so vital to the language.  I would suggest to anyone who is listening to the audio CDs to begin with the CDs and then, only when comfortable with pronunciation and tones, to go pick up some character and vocabulary texts.
   This was definitely money well spent because it really was a great way to begin my intensive Mandarin Chinese course."

The Rosetta Stone CD ROM Chinese (Mandarin) Language Course.

A Revolution In Language Learning!

Now you can learn the Chinese Mandarin language with the award-winning method used by the US State Department to train diplomats. Proven effective by NASA, the Peace Corps and over 4 million users worldwide, the Rosetta Stone Language Library teaches new languages faster and easier than ever before. You will learn Chinese the way you learned your own native language, without translation, memorization, or studying rules of grammar. Using real-life pictures to convey the meaning of each new phrase, The Rosetta Stone integrates new vocabulary and grammar systematically. It's the natural way to learn. It works!

Chinese Level 1

With up to 250 hours of instruction, Chinese Level I, Personal Edition provides 92 lessons of comprehensive instruction for beginning learners, leading to intermediate proficiency.

What is The Rosetta Stone CD ROM language course?

The Rosetta Stone CD-ROM series is the premier choice for students seeking to master a foreign language on their computer.  Intended for all serious students, these courses are equivalent to a year of college course study.  In fact, these packed CD-ROM courses for Windows and Macintosh are the most intensive computer courses you can buy.  Rosetta Stone teaches with an extensive series of drills that associate text, spoken words, and pictures.  Rosetta Stone teaches you not just tourist phrases, but also lots of vocabulary and grammar in a clear and simple manner.

The Rosetta Stone intensive courses assume no prior knowledge of a foreign language and will take the student through the equivalent of a year's college study.  Unlike learning in language classrooms, Rosetta Stone is designed to be entertaining and self-paced.  You can learn a foreign language when you want, for as long or short a time as you wish.  Each Rosetta Stone language CD ROM contains over 8,000 real life color images, plus thousands of words and phrases spoken by native speakers.  The emphasis is on both spoken and written language, meaning that Rosetta Stone teaches both the spoken and written foreign language.  The interactive design is not a mere "static" course that plays like a cassette; constant student response is necessary and this holds the student's attention and improves retention of new material.  Built-in speech recognition aids the student in pronouncing the words as they should be spoken.  Dual versions allow for the course to be used on either Macintosh or Windows computers.

Chinese Language, Audio Cassette Course.  Includes 6 sixty-minute audio cassette tapes, and a 356-page textbook.
   Spoken Language Services is "the original self-study language teacher." Featuring techniques pioneered by professional linguists during World War II, these no-nonsense courses have been used successfully by thousands of students to jump-start their foreign language training. No other method has proved more effective than the simple listen-and-imitate method these courses employ.  In fact, it is the same way we all learned as children to speak our native language!
   Most of the courses in the Spoken Language Series were prepared originally by professional linguists under the aegis of the American Council of Learned Societies and the Linguistic Society of America.  Books are self-instructional and are accompanied by cassettes keyed to the course material.  Cassettes are recorded by native speakers and cover conversations, pronunciation exercises, and TRUE-FALSE tests. Each word or phrase is spoken first in English* and then twice in the language of the course, with a pause after each utterance to allow the listener to repeat and imitate. The cassettes can be used for practice without the text.
    Grammatical explanations are given for the language content already learned. The learner gets systematic development of the linguistic structure instead of first learning a grammar and then trying to fit utterances into it.    Course material covered in Book I is roughly equivalent to one semester's intensive study (8 class hours per week with 30 hours outside practice). At the end of the course the learner should have a good grounding in everyday vocabulary, grammar, and usage, and be able to communicate with native speakers.  This could be exactly the course that you are looking for!
