TEACH YOURSELF CHINESE WITH MIKE ABSOLUTE BEGINNER

For complete beginners in the excellent Teach Yourself series, like a "rockstar" teacher Mike is 100% new and breaks with traditional Mandarin Chinese curricula. Using his witty sense of humour and logical step-by-step approach, he blends 60 short practice lessons and audio that complements this Coursebook. He will teach you essential Chinese in no time as he makes learning really good fun. He covers pinyin, the four tomes and writing system, words, phrases and typical conversations and in no time, you will be able to talk about yourself, family, friends, your job, home, your cats and dogs. Season 2 takes you much further because of course you will want to eat beef fried rice, ask where the toilet is, buying and selling, clothes, travel and future plans. The CD enclosed has all the audio for you to practice over and over again at your own pace and the 130 page 19 x 24cm softback is clearly laid out with all the characters and plenty of space for your exercise answers, reviews, line art and photos.
