Beginner Mandarin
Would you like to learn to speak Mandarin but don’t know where to start? For most
European languages, you first need to learn the alphabet, grammar as well as sentence
structure. Mandarin instead starts with pinyin - a sound from a combination of alphabets.
Speaking the correct sound or ‘tone’ is the very important first step. Knowing how
to deal with the different tones can help you understand and speak this fascinating
language. Master pronunciation and have fun doing it!
Features:
- contains audio recording for every tone in the Mandarin Language (all 406 syllables
and 1271 tones)
- has a pinyin slider for easy creation of tones
- includes ‘toneless’ (which are usually put at end of sentences) as Chinese character
next to tone name
- contains a test where you can test your listening and reading skills and keep track
of your score
- spoken by niece of language professor at University of Beijing
- contains over 2184 simplified Chinese characters (average speaking Chinese knows
about 3500) with English translations
- no online connection needed to run, all audio is accessible immediately whenever
and wherever you need it
- volume control
- only shows tones that exist in the language so you don’t learn tones that don’t
really exist
