The Easiest Way To Learn Mandarin: Image Maps, Word Images, And Other Mnemonics:

by J. J. Counsilman

Overview

The Easiest Way To Learn Mandarin applies more than a dozen established memory techniques, nearly all for the first time, to the learning of Mandarin. The techniques include most importantly: Word Images, Image Maps, and Illustrations. Other mnemonics include 100 Basic Mandarin Words; Rhymes; Humor; Spelling, Sound, and Meaning of Names; and more. The Dictionary presents mnemonic word images for 1,400 English/Mandarin words. The book's greater value lies in its potential for helping users expand their knowledge beyond the Mandarin presented here through the use of mnemonic methods, such as six strategies for creating English mnemonic images of Mandarin words.
