The Easiest Way to Learn Mandarin applies more than a dozen established memory techniques to the study of Mandarin, most for the first time. The mnemonic methods include a mnemonic dictionary of over 1,400 Mandarin words; 660 clipart illustrations; a dozen large image maps; the 100 most common Mandarin words; illustrated body parts; spelling, sound, and meaning of Chinese names; and more. The book's greater value lies in its potential for helping users expand their knowledge of Mandarin beyond the material presented here through the use of mnemonic methods.
