Once you get the basics down, you’ll be surprised how quickly you’re able to begin speaking it. And even knowing a little bit of the language will make travel to China far easier, and much more fun. Whether your goal is to travel, communicate with friends or colleagues, reconnect with family, or just understand more of what’s going on in the world around you, learning to speak Mandarin Chinese will expand your horizons and immeasurably enrich your life.\n\nThe best part is that it doesn’t have to be difficult or take years to master. Thirty minutes a day is all it takes, and we get you speaking right from the first day. Pimsleur courses use a scientifically-proven method that puts you in control of your learning. If you’ve tried other language learning methods but found they simply didn’t stick, then you owe it to yourself to give Pimsleur a try.\n\nWhy Pimsleur?\n- Quick + Easy – Only 30 minutes a day.\n- Portable + Flexible – Core lessons can be done anytime, anywhere, and easily fit into your busy life.\n- Proven Method – Works when other methods fail.\n- Self-Paced – Go fast or go slow – it’s up to you.\n- Based in Science – Developed using proven research on memory and learning.\n- Cost-effective – Less expensive than classes or immersion, and features all native speakers.\n- Genius – Triggers your brain’s natural aptitude to learn.\n- Works for everyone – Recommended for ages 13 and above.\n\nWhat’s Included?\n- 30, 30-minute audio lessons\n- 60 minutes of recorded Notes to provide you some insight into Mandarin Chinese culture\n- In total, 16 hours of audio, all featuring native speakers\n- a Notes Booklet and User’s Guide\n\nWhat You’ll Learn\nBuilds upon skills taught in Pimsleur’s Mandarin Chinese Levels 1 and 2.\n\nIn the first 10 lessons, you will expand your vocabulary and increase your fluency to an even higher level. You’ll gain experience participating in many informal and some formal discussions on practical, social, and semiprofessional topics. You’ll skillfully form longer, more complex sentences, and most importantly, you’ll find yourself being understood, even by native speakers unused to dealing with foreigners. You’ll be able to join in conversations eagerly, confident of being understood.\n\nIn the next 10 lessons, your skills will demonstrate ever-increasing mastery of Mandarin Chinese. Speaking with grace and complete naturalness, you’ll enjoy fluid conversations on many new subjects. Delving deeper into cultural norms and situations, you’ll find yourself responding effortlessly, and able to choose from a wide accumulation of vocabulary and structures.\n\nIn the final 10 lessons, you’re nearing fluency with agile responses, and a natural sounding, near-native accent. You’re able to utilize the language in subtle ways, and speak using past, present, and future tenses. Self-confidence soars as you no longer experience the language and culture as a foreigner, but as someone with a deepening insight into the Mandarin Chinese-speaking world.\n\nOne hour of recorded Cultural Notes are included at the end of Lesson 30. These notes are designed to provide you with some insight into Chinese culture. A Notes booklet is also included.\n\nThe Pimsleur Method\nWe make no secret of what makes this powerful method work so well. Paul Pimsleur spent his career researching and perfecting the precise elements anyone can use to learn a language quickly and easily. Here are a few of his “secrets”:\n\nThe Principle of Anticipation\nIn the nanosecond between a cue and your response, your brain has to work to come up with the right word. Having to do this boosts retention, and cements the word in your mind.\n\nCore Vocabulary\nWords, phrases, and sentences are selected for their usefulness in everyday conversation. We don’t overwhelm you with too much, but steadily increase your ability with every lesson.\n\nGraduated Interval Recall\nReminders of new words and structures come up at the exact interval for maximum retention and storage into your long-term memory.\n\nOrganic Learning\nYou work on multiple aspects of the language simultaneously. We integrate grammar, vocabulary, rhythm, melody, and intonation into every lesson, which allows you to experience the language as a living, expressive form of human culture.\n\nLearning in Context\nResearch has shown that learning new words in context dramatically accelerates your ability to remember. Every scene in every Pimsleur lesson is set inside a conversation between two people. There are no drills, and no memorization necessary for success.\n\nActive Participation\nThe Pimsleur Method + active learner participation = success. This method works with every language and every learner who follows it. You gain the power to recall and use what you know, and to add new words easily, exactly as you do in English.\n\nThe Mandarin Chinese Language\nOve\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pimsleur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118541692981,"sku":"ByrdShop_0743525469","price":193.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780743525466_abb8773f-1429-443a-923a-d95b962297dd.jpg?v=1778915520","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/pimsleur-chinese-mandarin-level-3-cd-learn-to-speak-and-understand-mandarin-chinese-with-pimsleur-language-programs-3-comprehensive-9780743525466","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
