By the end of this course, you will not only be able to write and understand short dialogue but also have an incredible foundation to build further on. Chinese is very logical and systematically builds on each previous step so every step forward will be easier than the last, and that is also how you'll be able to recognize 65% of Chinese upon finishing this course.

Chinese is the most logical language there is and we hope to demonstrate to the world how to successfully navigate it. Through the ancient system of using pictograms, two words with separate meanings can join to form entirely new words. For example, learn the word for electricity (电), then add brain (脑) and you get a computer (electric-brain). Replace the brain with stairs (梯) and you get an elevator (electric-stairs). 话 means speech and 'electric-speech' means telephone. Chinese is a clearly structured, logical language, and it is this logic that makes the learning experience feel like a puzzle that anyone can solve.
