Description: * LEARN STANDARD / MANDARIN CHINESE * FSI TRAINING COURSE * MP3 AUDIO PDF DVD * Standard Chinese or Modern Standard Chinese, also known as Mandarin, Putonghua, Guoyu and Modern Standard Mandarin, is a standardized variety of Chinese and the official language of the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan), and is one of the four official languages of Singapore. The phonology of Standard Chinese or Standard Mandarin is based on the Beijing dialect, but its vocabulary is drawn from the large and diverse group of Chinese dialects spoken across northern, central and southwestern China, a linguistic area whose varieties are collectively known as Mandarin Chinese. The grammar is standardized to the body of modern literary works that define written vernacular Chinese (originally Baihua), the colloquial alternative to Classical Chinese developed around the turn of the 20th century in China. The name "Mandarin" originally referred to the language used by the imperial court in Beijing and sometimes by imperial officials elsewhere , and as such was adopted as a synonym for Modern Standard Chinese in the 20th century, but the term became ambiguous as its use was extended in the field of linguistics to the various Northern dialects of Chinese. This article will use the phrase "Mandarin dialects" for this broader usage. (wikipedia) The FSI Language Courses are developed by the Foreign Service Institute, part of the government of the United States of America. The courses have been designed to help students reach a level of proficiency which will enable them to understand and fully participate in most formal and informal conversations. The American goverment has been producing top quality government sponsored language programs for over forty years. These courses along with others were designed as a training tool for the United States government's top agencies and personnel, including Ambassadors, Government agents, and Diplomats. Many people agree that these are the most thorough and effective language training courses ever compiled. They are ideal whether you are a complete novice or are just wanting to brush up. The methods used have been tried, tested and fine-tuned over the last forty years or so and offer you the potential to quickly and effectively learn the language. The audio courses are in MP3 format in individual lessons, which mean you can learn them at your own pace. You can upload or listen to them from your MP3 player, computer, or vehicle (if you have an MP3 player).... alternatively you could transfer the files to a standard audio discs for use in any CD player. To accompany the courses, there are written texts included on the disc(s). These learning manuals are in PDF (adobe) format, which again can be read from a computer or printed off page by page as you progress. The courses were originally intended to be instructor-led but are also recognized as ideal self taught courses. Once again these are the original language courses used for decades by U.S. government officials. * COMPLETE STANDARD CHINESE COURSE * 9 COMPLETE MODULES (MOD 1-9) 6 OPTIONAL MODULES & 4 RESOURCE MODULES Standard Chinese : A Modular Approach This course is designed to give a practical command of spoken Standard Chinese.
