Dear Friend,

Yes, I know, this is really a BAD news:
Chinese language counts more than 50,000 characters - yes, fifty thousands, five hundred hundred! Wow...

...even if you learn 10 characters a day, it would take:

5,000 days,

13.6 years of your life

(714 consecutive Sundays included!)

Do you know how almost every student of mine reacts during her 30 Euro/hour first Chinese class when I give her the bad news? The normal reaction is:

"How many? More than 50,000?!?"

Anyway, before she has the time to say:

"Well, I'm going to learn Spanish!"

I tell her that she doesn't have to learn 50,000 different characters before she really knows Chinese language.

If you too learn the selection of words Chinese people use most - only 152 characters - contained in this page, you'll know 50% of all Chinese language usage, that is 50% of all spoken and written Chinese!

I warmly invite you to read carefully this page and discover how you too can benefit from my experience and knowledge attending NOT EVEN ONE of my expensive Chinese classes.

Anyway, if you now decide to give up and direct your attention to Spanish, French, Italian... I do understand you.

Let me make something perfectly clear:

If you're not willing to dedicate at least 15 minutes each day to Chinese language, if you're not prepared to be assisted by a real teacher...

If you don't want to believe that learning Chinese language requires concentrated, long-term effort...

Then leave this site now. I wish you every happiness with whatever you choose to do, but you're wasting your time.
I can't help you.

Why am I being so harsh? It's simple.

I'm sure that I can help you only if you follow my directions carefully. I don't have any magic machine to connect to your brain so that, after a few seconds... like in The Matrix... you say "I know Chinese!"

I'm sure that I can smooth your learning journey only if you keep moving forward.

So, you still with me? Good, because I'm going to tell you the secret to learn fast to speak Chinese and to make the number of characters you need to learn smaller, smaller and smaller!

The Most Commonly Used Words
* Only 1,000 Characters *
That's All You Need Now!

It might seem a big surprise to someone, but in all languages a relatively few words are spoken (and written) much more frequently than others.

Chinese language is no exception. Illustrious people and institutions have proven it over and over again. For example:

They studied a huge quantity of modern fiction's dialogues, as well as news reports, articles, books, websites, etc...

What did they find? Are you ready to thrill? (I did)

Can you see how all of that precious information positively affects you?

That is great information! You can be sure that everything you listen or read, or everything you will want to say or write in Modern Chinese, 89% of that is composed by a relatively small number of words and characters.

It means that you can focus your effort and time on those word and characters! (instead of words chosen AT RANDOM or 50,000 different characters!) - 5000% LESS effort and 5000% LESS time.

Why would you want to waste time and effort trying to memorize words that, chances are, you'd never use again?

Amazing, isn't it?

"Yes, But, Who Are You?"

At this point, you may want to know who I am. Well, I have good and bad news for you.

Good news: I'm not Chinese. Remember, this is a basic course, you start from zero just like I did. I know what learning Chinese really means. My Chinese friends have never faced the same difficulties and obstacles!

As I use to tell to my students, between western languages and Chinese language there's a great wall of difference.

I have already climbed over that wall and now I'm on your side again to climb it together with you. Our Chinese friends have never been on our side of the wall!

Bad news: English is not my mother tongue. While reading this page, don't you feel my Italian accent? :-)

What you see in the picture is the beautiful Italy, the country in which I live and work. The areas around Bari (the city where I was born) and Cavezzo (the city where I live now) are highlighted in yellow . About testimonials, well, try and ask to any Chinese man or woman living in those areas about me, Giuseppe, the one who can speak Chinese... I'm not kidding, almost everyone knows me! That's because I'm quite active in talking to Chinese people about my beliefs and theirs. Recently I moved to Cavezzo, a little city near Modena, and soon have reached my goal to make a lot of new Chinese friends in this area.

If Only I Had Known This Years Ago!

I really don't like to say "Oh, if only I...", and actually never say that. It's easy to be wise after the event and, after all, what is done is done.

But, I'm going to say that here, over and over again, for one simple reason:

The sake of you.

I want that you benefit from what NOW I know and avoid the mistakes I made when, like you, started to learn Chinese.

That's why I've created the "1,000 Chinese Characters" Daily Course.

Please consider how the following problems have been brilliantly solved, so that you won't need to say "Oh, if only I..."

Problem #1 - See Below The Solution!
If Only I Had Known
More Chinese Grammar Rules Sooner!

Grammar rules in dribs and drabs: that's how I'd define the kind of approach to grammar made by not a few text-books, especially those made by Chinese authors.

When I was in Beijing, in my classroom all the raised questions were about grammar rules - a lot of questions. Teachers were great, text-books so and so.

Western people are not afraid of grammar, we want to know everything as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Western authors often make a different big mistake: they want to explain Chinese grammar, but apply the logic of English (or Italian, French...) grammar!

So you can find Chinese grammar books with subheadings such as:

But the point is that there is NO present tense or past tense or future tense in Chinese!!!

I know, this kind of approach is intended to make things sound familiar to an English reader, but it's misleading and doesn't help to "think Chinese".

Solution #1
You Are Going To Understand
A Lot Of Chinese Grammar Rules
- Easily Explained!

In my course, Chinese grammar is explained applying the logic of Chinese grammar.

And since 1,000 Chinese characters make up over 89% of Chinese language usage, I was able to include in the course ALL grammar rules I could think of!

Just a few examples:

Problem #2 - See Below The Solution!
If Only I Had
Focused My Attention On
The Most Frequently Spoken Words!

In Beijing, I didn't take long to realize that memorize characters is... difficult - and here I'm sure there's not even a hint of surprise on your part!

At that time I even had nightmares of Chinese characters assaulting and trying to eat me!

I was good at my job, spent a lot of time writing again and again a lot of words, always testing my ability to remember and read them.

I even made my own multicolored flashcards (I still have bags full of those flashcards - nice memories).

But you know what? Only a relatively few of them have been really very useful. If I'd have concentrated first my attention on those few words, I'd have had better results sooner.

It's a matter of priority.

Furthermore, the motto "use it or lose it" is absolutely true. If you don't use again soon or find again soon a word that you've just studied, you simply forget it!

Solution #2
You Are Going To
Focus Your Attention On
The Most Frequently Spoken Words!

With my course you're not going to waste your time with Chinese words and characters that are not commonly used.

You WILL HAVE TO learn more words and characters, but why learn them now if, chances are, you're not going to use them again soon?

Every day you will receive dialogues or useful sentences progressively composed by only the most frequently used words and characters.

At a frequency, on average, of a little more than 3 characters per day, the 1,000 most commonly used Chinese characters will knock at your email box door ready to introduce themselves and teach you how to speak Chinese!

The following are characters from the 7^th to the 152^nd most commonly used. Learn only these 152 characters and you'll be able to understand 50% of everything you find in Chinese!

人有我他这个们中来上大为和国地到以说时要就出会可也你对生能而子那得于着下自之年过发后作里用道行所然家种事成方多经么去法学如都同现当没动面起看定天分还进好小部其些主样理心她本前开但因只从想实日军者意无力它与长把机十民第公此已工使情明性知全三又关点正业外将两高间由问很最重并物手应战向头文体政美相

Problem #3 - See Below The Solution!
If Only I Hadn't Been
So Distracted By Pin-Yin!
and at the same time...

Problem #4 - See Below The Solution!
If Only I Hadn't Been
So Tormented By Characters!

I've studied Chinese with the support of a few books. All of them (at least for the first lessons) use both pin-yin and characters. That is good, we're not Chinese, we NEED pin-yin.

Just in case you don't know, pin-yin is the system of Romanized spelling for the Chinese characters, used by Chinese dictionaries.

In the example below (its meaning is: "How are you?") you can see how text-books use both pin-yin and characters.

你 nν

好 hǎo

吗 ma

？ ?

So what's wrong here? Well, the problem is that when we have to read a text with both characters and pin-yin, we read ONLY pin-yin!

I still remember my teacher in Beijing asking:

"Do you read pin-yin or characters?"

The answer was always an unanimous:

"Pin-yin :-( "

Even I still need to discipline my eyes to read characters, not pin-yin!

The truth is that Teacher could tell us hundreds of times "read characters!", but we still would be reading pin-yin.

What's the result? When the text-book quits using pin-yin (or when we read something in the real world), then we are all of a sudden completely lost.

Let's imagine this situation:

In a text or a dialogue you find a character you've already studied, but don't remember its meaning (or its pronunciation).

For example, let's say you find the same sentence mentioned above, but ,this time, without pin-yin.

It's easy now for you to just go up a little and find again its pin-yin (you did, I'm sure you did ;-)

Anyway, with your text-book might not be that easy. You start again from page zero scanning your book in search of that character...

...and again...

...and again...

...WHERE IS IT??

Often happens that you give up with the book and try with your dictionary, figuring out radical, number of strokes... and that 20 minutes have passed!

But do you know what I found most frustrating? Sometime (disappointment to the cubic power) you even realize that the unknown character has never been used nor explained in any of the previous lessons!

How could this problem might be solved? I, as your teacher, might tell you "try to recognize characters from the very first lesson, look at pin-yin only if you don't remember the pronunciation of the character..."

Or, better solution:

Solution #3 and Solution #4
Your Characters Reading
Is Going To Be Refreshing
With The Help Of Pin-Yin!

In the '1,000 Chinese Characters' Daily Course, pin-yin does not distract you from reading characters - you start reading characters (not pin-yin) from the very first lesson!

The sentence mentioned above, in the course looks like the following:

Only characters? NO!

Pin-yin is still there ready to help you! Just roll the mouse pointer over any character and its pin-yin would appear.

With my course you don't need to spend 20 minutes for just that one character that still has not found its stable place among your synapses.

What if you don't remember the meaning of a character?

Easy! Just click on it and a window will open to the exact point where that character (or word) was introduced in a previous lesson, helping you to review and memorize.

I admit that this free offer makes me a little anxious, for two reasons:

That's why I must limit the number of students to only 20-25.

I've got only 24 hours a day (and Doctor says I should get enough rest). So, as soon as the 25^th student gets this free bonus, I will drop this special offer.

If you come tomorrow and don't find it... you already know why.

Anyway, since you can read this offer, it means that you're still in time, if you order now, to steal 500 hours of my time and, for example, ask me:

TESTIMONIAL Glad as the following student of mine who, on 23 February 2008 18:35, wrote: Initially, I had some qualms. I thought whether this one would also ultimately turn out to be just another riffraff. But thank Goodness, IT WORKED!

Giuseppe, you and your site have enthralled and overpowered me. You and this site have done MAGIC!

P.S.:

I did it just for fun, but the result shocked me! I decided to take the Chinese Gospel of Matthew and highlight in yellow those characters belonging to the list of 1,000 most frequently used Chinese characters. When I saw how YELLOW was the result, I couldn't believe my eyes - and still I don't! Here is only Chapter 5 of the Gospel of Matthew (the first part of Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount), but if you want to take a look to the whole book of Matthew and to a snapshot of the homepage of the famous Chinese web site www.china.com.cn, click here. Now I'm absolutely sure, this is the real proof that after you learn the most frequently used words, you'll be able to speak, read and understand almost everything of what you find in Chinese!

P.P.S.:

Most important, today you get MY PERSONAL support at no extra cost! For the ridiculous price of $97 I will assist and help you for a total of 500 hours! But please be warned, this offer is valid only for 20-25 students. Now you can be one of them, tomorrow I don't know.
