Learning Mandarin, A Guide Every Step of the Way
Fluenz Mandarin will guide you realistically and step by step through a Mandarin path specifically designed for English-speakers. If there is a language where the Rosetta Stones and Duolingos of the world won’t be of much help, it is Mandarin Chinese; just imagine as an English-speaker trying to learn Mandarin with explanations in Mandarin or without any kind of explanation. Fluenz offers video tutorials in English tied-in to comprehensive workouts where you practice what’s learned every step of the way. This is why the Navy’s Special Warfare Command uses our program.

Master the basics and gain the ability to navigate through a new country or city.
REAL-WORLD SITUATIONS YOU'LL ENGAGE IN:
- Greeting and introducing yourself
- Talking about countries and nationalities
- Going out to eat and for entertainment
- Shopping and monetary transactions
- Navigating airports, subway and train stations
- Communicating with taxi drivers
- Making hotel reservations and other travel arrangements
- Looking for people and places on the street or inside a building
- Telling or asking for your way (directions)
- Telling or asking for the time
- Planning activities
FOUNDATIONAL TOPICS COVERED:
- Writing in Pinyin
- Identifying the tones (sounds + marks)
- Internalizing basic sentence structure (word order)
- Forming basic questions and negations
- Using essential possessives and demonstratives
- Using other adjectives to describe items and places

Mandarin 1+2 has been designed to prepare you for the most important and common situations you'll face in the Mandarin-speaking world. At the same time, you'll develop a strong foundation in how the language actually works, allowing you to go beyond simple stock phrases to actually building sentences yourself. This is a serious introduction to the language.
We’ll start with only a few key verbs, nouns and pronouns so that you can really focus on two elements that are quite different in Mandarin : the sounds (the tones) and the structure of phrases (word order and uses). The idea is to make sure you start recognizing words, sounds and patterns while memorizing some basic but powerful sentences that you’re going to need in any context.
You’ll see that shortly the concepts will start to make sense. After only a few sessions, you'll already be having meaningful interactions in a restaurant, and soon you'll be shopping, making plans with friends, getting around a city, going out for entertainment, and even making travel arrangements. You’ll also learn how to count and use numbers.
Little by little, we’ll vary the situations and add on some more crucial verbs, nouns and adjectives so that you can express your needs and desires with confidence in most common traveling situations. Further work on locations and times will round out your introduction to the Mandarin language, leaving you well-prepared to dive into your experiences in the Mandarin-speaking world.

- Buying specific things at different kinds of stores
- Discussing origins
- Changing money
- Visiting a factory and ordering materials
- Finding your way inside a building
- Looking for an address or a person
- Making more complex travel and work arrangements
- Going to the pharmacy or doctor’s
- Dealing with technology items and tasks

- Talking about jobs and business
- Comparing things at the tailor

FOUNDATIONAL TOPICS COVERED:
- Main essential measure words

- How to form the future
- How to speak about past events
- Forming more complex statements and questions (new question words)

Mandarin 3 has been designed to reinforce the basics studied in levels 1+2, like the tones and the numbers, while getting deeper into some crucial elements in the Mandarin phrase, such as the all-important “measure words”, or new ways of building negations. This level will be a challenge too in the sense that it introduces more vocab and more complex structures in order to prepare you for more intermediate studies.
Indeed, you'll continue to build upon the structures learned in Mandarin 1+2, so that your journey through this third level leads to more complex and meaningful interactions in restaurants, travel agencies, stores, and with friends. You'll buy clothing from boutique stores, make personal as well as business reservations and appointments, you'll enjoy local cuisine at restaurants, go to the doctor, and visit factories and buildings with friends…
From new verbs, prepositions and adjectives to how to express new tenses (past and future), this level is perfect to complete your bases and make sure you have a strong foundation and a deep grasp of how Mandarin works. By the time you finish level 3, you’ll be able to identify and reproduce most crucial words and sounds in Mandarin, allowing you to engage in more serious conversations about essential topics and giving you all the tools to communicate during a trip to China, or even to pursue your Mandarin studies if you wish to.

Comparing Fluenz Mandarin with Rosetta Stone Mandarin
Journal of the Computer Assisted Language Instruction Consortium.
Comparing Fluenz Mandarin with Rosetta Stone Mandarin
Journal of the Computer Assisted Language Instruction Consortium.
Ratings from the journal's evaluation of offline version of
Rosetta Stone Portuguese 1, 2, 3 TOTAL and of Fluenz Mandarin 1+2+3
“To use English to teach a foreign tongue? Fluenz says "yes", and trumps Rosetta stone.”
DIFFERENCES IN APPROACHES: Rosetta Stone believes in fully immersing the student in the language, without using any English to explain phrases. Fluenz believes adults learn best when they can relate the grammar and syntax of a foreign language to the structure of the tongue they already know.
THE VERDICT: Fluenz’s approach is much better. Hearing English while going through Italian words helps with learning and retention.
