Why Chinese with Mike? Chinese with Mike is 100% new and breaks
with traditional Chinese curricula. Mike's humour, mixed with his
logical, step-by-step approach shields learners from the
unnecessary complexities of Mandarin Chinese. Through a blend of 60
short practice lessons and audio, you'll acquire essential Chinese
with confidence. More importantly, you get a little one-on-one time
with Mike, as he makes learning Chinese ridiculously easy-and fun!
This activity book is for use with the corresponding Coursebook
(ISBN 9781444198577). What will I learn? This is a solid foundation
course that teaches you how to speak Chinese and also understand
how the language fits together. Season 1 This covers pinyin, the
four tones and writing system using Simplified Chinese characters,
common words, phrases and typical conversations. In no time you'll
be able to talk about yourself, your family, your friends, your
job, your home, your dogs and cats. Season 2 If Season 2 wasn't
included in the book, you wouldn't be able to tell people you can
speak Chinese, you like to play basketball, or you want to eat beef
fried rice. More importantly, you wouldn't even know how to ask
permission to use the bathroom! Without Season 2 you wouldn't get
very far in life. Why will learning Chinese be a breeze? * Mike

First time in book form! A successful program for teaching 3,500 vocabulary words that successful people need to know, based on America's #1 bestselling audio vocabulary series.
"People judge you by the words you use." Millions of Americans know this phrase from radio and print advertising for the Verbal Advantage audio series, which has sold over 100,000 copies. Now this bestselling information is available for the first time in book form, in an easy-to-follow, graduated vocabulary building program that teaches an outstanding vocabulary in just ten steps.
Unlike other vocabulary books, Verbal Advantage provides a complete learning experience, with clear explanations of meanings, word histories, usages, pronunciation, and more. Far more than a cram session for a standardized test, the book is designed as a lifetime vocabulary builder, teaching a vocabulary shared by only the top percentage of Americans, with a proven method that helps the knowledge last.
A 10-step vocabulary program teaches 500 key words and 3,000 synonyms. Lively, accessible writing from an expert author and radio personality.
This companion volume teaches the basics of katakana, the script
for writing loanwords borrowed from English and other languages.
The book introduces the characters not in the traditional a-i-u-e-o
order, but in a radical new one that allows students to sound out
words from the very first page.
As in the Hiragana Workbook, one page each is devoted to the 46
basic characters, which are then used to form actual, everyday
words, enabling the student to build his or her vocabulary from the
very beginning. The Katakana Workbook also features exercises,
flashcards, games and free audio downloads.
