Product Description

rhythmic mandarin Vol. 2 builds on the successful formula of Volume 1 and gives you another 350+ core elements of mandarin Chinese. You will learn how to ask for the time, inquire after someone's health, express your personal preference, buy a train ticket, check-in to your hotel room, ask if something is nearby and - if it all goes pear-shaped - insist that you've only just started learning Mandarin!

Like Volume 1, the content is divided into 2 sections. Section 1 is composed of 14 tracks that activate your long-term memory with rhythm and music to help you remember the new content. In section 2, we use word-plays and word-associations ("Memory Hooks") to further reinforce your learning of the new Mandarin words.

In section 1, the length of each track is about 3 to 5 minutes. In section 2, all of the "Memory Hooks" are put together in one track, which is 54 minutes long. Put together, this edition of rhythmic mandarin includes almost 2 hours of content!

To give you an idea of what the tracks in each section sound like, we've extracted a 45 second demo clip of each type. (Double) click the "Play" buttons below to listen:
