Please follow these simple steps to ensure the maximum learning results:

(I) Download the audio lessons to your computer, iPod, Mp3 player, mobile phone, etc. and listen to them on-the-go. In order to download from the Website, right-click on the “download” button under each lesson and save-as…

(II) Try to listen as many times as possible. Listening doesn’t harm. It helps to you start speaking.

(III) First time just listen, then repeat after you hear every word or sentence.

(IV) Try to imitate what you hear, even if the sounds seem to be difficult to pronounce. Don’t be shy, nobody can hear you.

(V)Subscribe and have a transcript before your eyes when listening to the lesson. It’s important to have a visual input as well.

(VI) Pay attention to the tone marks in lesson transcripts and try to pronounce tones correctly.

(VII) Work on the worksheet of each lesson and compare your answers to the correct answers announced at the end of each lesson.

(VIII) When you work on the lessons, put the emphasis on pinyin (phonetic alphabet) and correct pronunciation. If you think writing is fun too, we have Chinese characters in the transcripts too. You can also get a textbook, check our online shop, we have some good textbooks and dictionaries there from time to time.

(IX) Practice what you have learned whenever you have a chance. Let’s say with your Chinese friend, partner or language teacher, in a Chinese restaurant, etc. If you are interested in practising on Skype or over the phone, please contact us.

(X) Repetition is the key to your success. From time to time, go back and repeat.

(XI) Record yourself and compare your pronunciation to mine. It always helps when you hear your own voice like it’s somebody else.

(XII) Be persistent and never give up!

(XIII) Confidence is 90% of your success. Even if you make mistakes, if you sound confident enough when you speak Chinese, you will be understood very well. So speak loud and have confidence in yourself!
