Rosetta Stone: Chinese (Mandarin) Level 1 - Mac/Windows

Maybe you're planning a trip to a foreign country. Maybe you have a new friend or business client who speaks a different language. Maybe you just want to enjoy learning about an exciting culture. Whatever your reason for taking on a new language, you want to learn it effectively, quickly and permanently. What good are flash cards, memorization drills and repetitive translation tasks when what you really need is to converse with ease and understand meanings in real-life situations? Don't tie yourself down with scripts or books — introduce yourself with confidence, speak about important topics and learn to rely on language intuition. With level 1 software from Rosetta Stone, you'll be instantly immersed in Chinese vocabulary and syntax, so you can learn your new language using the best way there is — the way you learned your native one.

Rosetta Stone: Chinese (Mandarin) Level 1 features a proven Dynamic Immersion Method of instructing, using native speakers, images, intuition and interactive activities to encourage you to completely delve into the Chinese language — without using translation as a crutch. Master all of the basic vocabulary, conversational skills, pronunciation, reading and writing that you need to navigate through the new language. While you learn exclusively in Chinese, you'll get a handle on age, family relations, household items, times and dates, buying and selling and more topics that are key to communication — no matter where you are. When you practice your skills in real-life simulations, Rosetta Stone uses voice recognition to monitor your progress and give you feedback. Don't let language be a barrier — cross any boundaries with Rosetta Stone.
