Critic reviews

Praise for other titles in the Paul Noble range:

A great learning method for Mandarin Chinese

I absolutely love learning languages and trying out new language learning products! My Spanish is quite good, my French is survival, my Korean is upper beginner, and I'm now on a journey with Mandarin Chinese. Paul Noble's Method is like a current generation version of the Michel Thomas Method, but with a more modern feel and several quality of life improvements for language learners. I purchased it yesterday, and have learned with it for about an hour so far. My initial impressions are quite good! Paul obviously put a lot of thought into the course, because he made a few choices that are VERY good. For instance, he has two native Mandarin speakers working with him. A female speaker and a male speaker. This is very impressive because almost no language learning products use both male and female speakers in the same product. In many languages males and females speak differently, so being able to hear the difference is incredibly useful. Also, the female speaker speaks the sentence in a slower fashion, and the male speaker then will speak the same sentence at normal speed. This way you can hear the words broken down, as well as at full speed. I am using this course in conjunction with other methods, and it has already helped me figure out how I can use vocabulary that I've learned from other materials. Paul's way of logically explaining how to use Chinese is fantastic. I'm super impressed so far and look forward to finishing the course!

Further than ever

This audiobook is a must for Mandarin learners! Especially those who are feeling overwhelmed and disappointed. I tried to start learning last year but stopped when I felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere with a very popular language learning tool. I finally decided to start again and I found this audiobook and thought I would give it a try, which I am so glad I did! My husband’s first language is Chinese so when started telling all the sentences and phrases I knew, he was shocked! I used to not be able to put sentences together and now I can! Of course they are basic, but progress is progress and the reps you do in this audiobook will give you so much time to really remember all the things you are learning. Even the pronunciation aspect is great! 10 out of 10 would recommend this book to anyone who struggles learning languages!

Amazing

Definitely recommend. The way he breaks down and explains how to pronounce words/phrases makes it very easy to understand the language

Very Helpful

As a beginner, this audiobook was invaluable in helping to build my vocabulary and grammar. I loved it!

Learn Chinese! START HERE!!!

I really can't praise this audio course enough!
If you want to learn Chinese... start with this!

I have been dabbling with Chinese using other audio books and apps and paper books for 5 years not getting much of anywhere.

I wish I had this audio course BEFORE everything else!

I have been working through it in the car on the commute... and it is ALL sticking.
I AM LEARNING!

Very useful vocabulary. Very helpful and successful method of teaching. Includes a PDF book designed with thoughtfulness and care.

AND yeah you won't get the tones right at first... but if you keep listening and answering and repeating and trying... you WILL get the tones.

Just give your brain time and practice.

AFTER you get spoken and listening vocabulary using this course... THEN is the time to start learning how to read and write the Chinese characters. Do that AFTER learning the words speaking and listening.

I have enough vocabulary now from this course, I WANT to learn more, and I want to practice by typing / creating new sentences using the words I have learned from this course.

Start here! Get this audio course!

I have managed to travel in China without knowing Chinese... this one course would have made my time there much easier!
