Fluenz Mandarin 1+2+3 Windows

Mandarin 1+2 has been designed to prepare you for the most important and common situations you’ll face in the Mandarin-speaking world. At the same time, you’ll develop a strong foundation in how the language actually works, allowing you to go beyond simple stock phrases to actually building sentences yourself. This is a serious introduction to the language.

We’ll start with only a few key verbs, nouns and pronouns so that you can really focus on two elements that are quite different in Mandarin : the sounds (the tones) and the structure of phrases (word order and uses). The idea is to make sure you start recognizing words, sounds and patterns while memorizing some basic but powerful sentences that you’re going to need in any context.

You’ll see that shortly the concepts will start to make sense. After only a few sessions, you’ll already be having meaningful interactions in a restaurant, and soon you’ll be shopping, making plans with friends, getting around a city, going out for entertainment, and even making travel arrangements. You’ll also learn how to count and use numbers.

Little by little, we’ll vary the situations and add on some more crucial verbs, nouns and adjectives so that you can express your needs and desires with confidence in most common traveling situations. Further work on locations and times will round out your introduction to the Mandarin language, leaving you well-prepared to dive into your experiences in the Mandarin-speaking world.
