rhythmic cantonese Vol. 1
 |
"Infectious!" G. Andrew Work, Executive Director, Canadian Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong "A fun and easy way to help you master the absolute essentials for getting by on the streets - it really works." Prof. David Santandreu, Linguistics Expert, City University of Hong Kong |
Product Description
rhythmic cantonese gives you 230+ core elements of Cantonese Chinese. The ideal tool for absolute beginners, you will learn to order food and drink, ask for directions or help, deal with money, numbers, weeks and days and take a taxi.
The content of the CD is presented in 14 pairs of musical tracks (i.e 28 in total), plus an introduction to each section. The first track in each pair activates your long-term memory with rhythm and music to help you remember the new content. And the second track uses word-plays and word-associations ("Memory Hooks") to further reinforce your learning of the new Cantonese words.
On the album, the length of each track is about 2 to 5 minutes. To give you an idea of how they sound, we've extracted a 45 second demo clip of each type. (Double) click the "Play" buttons below to listen:

More Customer Testimonials
  I have learnt more from the rhythmic cantonese CDs than from classroom lessons or any other sources and I can't get enough!
- Katie MercurioLearning Cantonese in Hong kong |
 Congratulations on the rhythmic cantonese CD's - they are amazing! I can't wait to get Volume 2 after devouring Volume 1.
- Cesar Del PinoLearning Chinese in Hong kong |
 rhythmic cantonese is a brilliant approach to learning language. The music is uplifting and cleverly different for each segment. So are the spoken words which sound like a dialogue rather than a translation. At times I had to laugh out loud happily for no apparent reason. Now it has become unforgettable for me. I have put the CD on my MP3 player so that I can listen more often. - Philine Bracht Associate Professor, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University |
 I just received your rhythmic cantonese CD Vol 1 and The Third Ear Book - Awesome! Awesome Product! It has helped a lot. You've given me a lot of inspiration and motivation - thanks again.
