Learning Mandarin

So, it seems that Learning Mandarin is your goal. Do you know what happened when I started to learn Mandarin? Read this page for the answer and discover the "Stress Free and Headache Free Lessons for Learning Mandarin!"

Why so much emphasis to words like "stress" and "headache" in relation to the learning of Mandarin? Because, you see, I don't want you suffer what I did when I started to learn Mandarin.

Do you know what happened?

I started to go bald :-(

It might be pure coincidence, maybe it was just the time for hereditary factors to go into action... but I'm sure of one thing:

• learning Mandarin has been, in my case and in the case of the vast majority of Western student, a very stressful experience!

That's why I decided to create the stress free and headache free Mandarin course you find at the WearYourChineseName Website. From the first lesson to the end, I want you always feel "How simple is to learn Mandarin!"

The #1 BENEFIT my students appreciate most is related to the way pinyin is used to help recognize Chinese characters. Let's take as an example the Chinese sentence meaning "How are you?" and compare the method used by ordinary text-books with the method used by the Mandarin course at www.WearYourChineseName.com:

Below you can see how text-books use both pin-yin and characters.

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!

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.

On the contrary, 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!

Another GREAT BENEFIT my student appreciate is related to how all dialogues are made. They are stress free and headache free because they are progressively composed only of words and characters already introduced and studied in the previous lessons.

For example, consider the following Chinese text (the characters belonging to the list of 1,000 most commonly used Chinese characters are highlighted in yellow -

快乐生活的可靠指南。人人都有权“追求快乐”。美国《独立宣言》的制定者有这样的观点。但是，追求目标是一回事，达到目标则是另一回事。许多年轻人追求在娱乐界或运动界事业有成，但你知道有多少人真的得到梦寐以求的成功呢？一个著名歌唱家深知做成功的音乐家需要竭力奋斗，他说：“成功的可能性很小。” 如果你发觉在追寻快乐方面同样很难成功，大可不必灰心丧气。只要你以正确的方式追求快乐，是能够得到的。为什么这样说呢？上一篇文章提到“快乐的上帝”耶和华。（提摩太前书1:11）上帝通过圣经提供指引，使你成功寻得快乐，不致大失所望。耶和华能帮助你应付使人悲伤的常见因素。且看看当你所爱的亲友去世时，上帝能给你什么安慰。

English translation:

A Sure Guide to Happiness. "THE pursuit of Happiness" is the right of all men. That was the view of the framers of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. But pursuing a goal is not the same as reaching it. While many young people pursue careers in entertainment and sports, how many do you know who have actually attained the success they so desired? "You probably won’t make it," says one famous singer familiar with the struggle to become a successful musician. If you have felt that way about finding happiness, there is good reason for you to take heart. If you pursue happiness in the right way, you will attain it. Why can that be said? The preceding article made reference to "the happy God," Jehovah. (1　Timothy 1:11) In the Bible, God provides guidance so that your pursuit of happiness does not lead to a dead-end of disappointment. Jehovah can help you to overcome common causes for sadness. As an example, consider the comfort he offers to you when someone you love dies.
