      How to Use This Book

      If you have always wanted to learn the basics of Mandarin, but traditional methods seemed overwhelming or intimidating, this book is for you! Just follow the directions below and soon you’ll be able to say dozens of words and phrases in Mandarin.

      Follow the illustrated prompts and say the phrase quickly and smoothly with equal emphasis on the words or syllables. While Mandarin is a tonal language, you’ll still be understood if you speak clearly and evenly. A strikethrough means don’t pronounce that letter.

      Learn to string together words or phrases to create many more phrases.

      The words and phrases are sorted alphabetically within each chapter to make finding them easier.

      Draw your own pictures to help with memorization and pronunciation.

      Note: This book may produce Americanized Mandarin.
