"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 mandarin gives you 230+ core elements of Mandarin 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 Mandarin 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:

  I've been listening to the rhythmic mandarin CD which I received this week, and I must say, it's FANTASTIC! The part that I like the most is the memory hook with mnemonics exercises.
