Finally: Mandarin taught your way!
Having trouble learning Mandarin at a language school or using online resources? Want to build real competence in the language quickly? Mandarin through Optimized Immersion™ is the solution for you! Optimized Immersion™ helps you acquire the structure and basic vocabulary of spoken Mandarin rapidly using TPRS® methodology, then adds Chinese-specific techniques like tonal spelling, directional gestures and target literacy training to get you up to speed in reading and writing.
Targeted goals
It’s Mandarin your way. Just decide on your particular goals — learn to speak the language only, or choose to learn to read as well. You may decide you want to write characters too — you decide whether you prefer Traditional, Simplified or both, and whether you want to write characters by hand from memory, or simply learn computer input (which covers 99% of what needs to be written by the average person living in a Chinese-speaking area).
Convenient learning
Your class is scheduled at your convenience and taught in person or via Skype videoconferencing. The content can coordinate with another class or book, or present the highest frequency items in the language for best results. Ideal for beginners and intermediate-level learners who want to be able to use Mandarin in the real world.
