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.
