Learn Chinese (Mandarin) in a Whole New Way.....
Based on up-to-date understanding of linguistics and learning psychology.

Have you been frustrated by language courses that bore you with tedious dialogues, overload you with vocabulary lists or confuse you with tricky grammar rules? Most language-learning programs have not changed much in the past 50 years, rehashing the same old "listen-and-repeat" methods that almost never deliver the results they promise. No wonder they can't make good on their pledges to turn you into a fluent speaker in just a few hours!

Acclaimed linguist Dr. Robert Blair realizes that you're never going to learn anything if you're too uninterested to pay attention. That's why his one-of-a-kind, proven-effective systematic learning process can accelerate your learning exponentially.

Drawing on the best innovations in language instruction of the last forty years, Dr. Blair's method integrates a variety of language-teaching approaches and activities into one breakthrough course.

Dr. Robert Blair was a linguistics student at Indiana University in the 1950's when he began studying language. During decades of study, teaching and experimenting with over 48 language, he began to see a disturbing pattern with traditional teaching methods. Even students who had studied a language for years, in the end, remembered very little. Subsequently, Dr. Blair set about studying the best teaching methods for foreign language from around the world. Through his study of best practices and the development of his own methodologies, Dr. Blair's unique method was born.

The CHINESE Language:
Chinese is the mother tongue of over 1 billion people. Spoken Chinese has varied regional dialects. The two most common dialects are Mandarin and Cantonese. The pronunciation of the two are totally different.

The two are both tonal languages (different tones have different meanings for the same sound.) and they also have different vowels and consonants too. Mandarin has four tones while Cantonese has more than six. People who can understand only either Mandarin or Cantonese can communicate with each other by writing because they use the same written characters with a few exceptions.

Mardarin is the official language in Mainland China, Taiwan and Singapore. The Mandarin dialect is used by most of the Chinese schools, colleges and universities and in most TV programs, movies and radio stations all over the country (even in Guangzhou or Canton where people speak Cantonese in their daily lives.) Mandarin is one of the five official languages in the United Nations.

Cantonese is mainly spoken in Hong Kong, Guangdong (where Guangzhou/Canton is the capital) and Guangxi provinces and most of the overseas Chinese communities including Australia, Europe, North America and other parts of the world.
