Your Success in Learning Chinese Has Nothing to Do with Luck
To achieve success in learning Chinese is to follow a clearly defined path comprised of many significant small steps, and to have a conscious change of attitude.
At MSL Master, the path of learning Chinese is defined by two inter-related and also stand-alone series of Chinese textbooks, Mandarin Express series and Chinese Reading and Writing series. These books are for non-Chinese speakers to learn Chinese efficiently, effectively and systematically, taking them from complete beginners to Chinese proficiency and cultural literacy.
The Four Stages of Learning Mandarin Chinese
These two series of Chinese textbooks help students build up their Chinese language skills and cultural knowledge in four stages. As students progress from a lower stage to a higher stage, they will experience a different type of instruction, and their participation and contribution in the class will also gradually become more and more important to their success.
What can students expect when they start on this four-stage Chinese learning path? What kind of learning curve will they experience?
It is beneficial for students to know what to expect at each stage and what is required of them. It prepares them both psychologically and physically for the best possible learning outcomes.
