It takes a lot more than 10 minutes a day to learn Chinese, but this is a good place to start. Pictures, games, puzzles and stick-on labels make learning basic phrases fun. I got this book before I went to live in Beijing in 1994, and found it handy. I used it to supplement lessons from my private tutor. Some foreigners I worked with also had the book, and stuck the labels up all over their apartments.
I bought this book about a year ago at the advice of my Chinese teacher. She recommended it to all of her students.I have been working as a foreigner in Shanghai for a year, and this book always has the best information and is easy to use because of the pictures and sticky labels.It's inexpensive and highly informative. I'd recommend it to anyone with a desire to learn basic Mandarin for travel or work.Highly recommended!
I am so happy to have purchased this program. Everyday I practice speaking, reading and writing in pinyin. I have almost completely memorized the pinyin alphabet. I would suggest to anyone trying to learn Mandarin to purchase a supplemental book, McGraw-Hill's "Chinese Pronunciation" book. This book with accompanying CD will cover completely ALL the actual Mandarin pronunciations: finals (vowels) and initials (consonants). So, The "Chinese in 10 Mins. a Day" together with "Chinese Pronunciation" books, will give any serious beginner the perfect tools to start your journey in learning this new language. I gave "Chinese in 10 Mins. a Day" with CD a five-star rating because it is broken down into easy-to-comprehend blocks of words per chapter. This book provides so many necessary sentences that one needs to know in order to speak basic Mandarin.
As a teacher of Mandarin, a subject for which there are few good textbooks, I employ this as a supplementary text for my students when parents ask "are there any other books out their my child could be using for extra help?"
Of course, no one learns Mandarin in 10 minutes a day. I'm sure no one really expects to. Used in conjunction with other methods that emphasize the sound of the language, however, this is a very good resource for basic phrases and vocabulary.
This book makes learning fun. It has an interactive cd that downloads quickly, it also has flash cards and item names to place on the item so that you can see it daily. My son and i each got a book. He is in Taiwan now teaching English and we are able to practice Mandarin Chinese in the evening. It's great when you can use the book this way, only 10 minutes a day, lots of review and learning becomes fun.
Was recommended by my son's Mandarin instructor. My 1st grade boy loves to work on the CD-rom items but the book itself is over his head. I was disappointed that the stickers that accompanied the book were not Mandarin symbols/figures by pinyin.
I am editing my review and doing away with the stars. This book promises to help you learn Chinese, as in MANDARIN, as in the NATIONAL LANGUAGE of China, which is also called PUTONGHUA.Contrary to everything the book says, it is NOT PUTONGHUA that one learns with it but BEIJINGHUA, which is a DIALECT from BEIJNING. If you do not know each CITY in China has a DIFFERENT DIALECT, and the grammar, pronunciation and way of using words is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE NATIONAL LANGUAGE PUTONGHUA!Basically this book is falsely advertising what they teach! People do NOT need to learn BEIJINGHUA! People need to learn MANDARIN = PUTONGHUA in order to be able to correctly communicate while in China. Unless you are living in Beijing and are not interested in communicating with people from outside Beijing... go ahead and buy it. Because the grammar in here will not help you with the NORMS of a National Language.***** ALSO... who puts CD's with books anymore? It is equal to using a tape! Come on people, use DOWNLOAD links, or include a USB DRIVE. Most laptop computers now are ULTRATHIN = NO CD. !_!
