The 8 modules
Blocks, Not Characters
Complicated characters are simple characters stacked together, and once you see the stacking you never look at a character the same way again.
Buy or Sell — One Stroke Apart
Tones are not an accent, they are part of the word, and two words can differ only by their tone and mean opposite things.
How Much Is That, Really
Price vocabulary is the most immediately useful Chinese you can own, because the first Chinese speaker you meet may well be selling something.
zh ch sh Against z c s
Six consonants split into two families, and getting them apart is the difference between being understood and being asked to repeat yourself.
The Scholarship Words
There are real Chinese government scholarships open to students across the continent, and the vocabulary that surrounds them is small enough to learn in one sitting.
Typing Chinese With a Phone Keyboard
You type Chinese by typing Pinyin and choosing the character — which means your Pinyin and your tones are what unlock the writing.
Read the Signs and the Shipping Marks
Chinese appears on containers, packaging and equipment near you, and the handful of characters used on signs is a short, closed list.
Capstone: Introduce Yourself Like You Mean It
Today you deliver a real spoken self-introduction in Chinese — the exact thing asked for at a scholarship interview or a first meeting with a Chinese trader.
Your teenager will finish able to read and write around sixty characters, distinguish the tones and the difficult zh/ch/sh consonants, handle basic price negotiation vocabulary, and deliver a competent spoken self-introduction. Chinese-language ability is a real differentiator for trade apprenticeships, contracting work and the Chinese government scholarship programmes that recruit across the continent every year.
