Learning Chinese is not a language challenge, it's a memory challenge. Encoding Chinese takes advantage of the mind's powerful association ability (encoding) and it's remarkable natural ability to remember places (memory palace). When used together these give users an almost unbelievable ability to remember the many necessary details of the Chinese language, including the written characters and the tones.This book is not just a list of things you need to remember, but a fully explained system for remembering everything you need to be fully functional in all aspects of the language.This book includes:Full explanation on how to use association techniques and the memory palace1200 Frequently Used Chinese Characters (with stroke order diagrams)Over 700 Key Vocabulary Words and PhrasesHSK 1-3 Vocabulary (over 1000 words)Character Review SheetsHelp for Learning GrammarExplanation of the Chinese LanguageOver 3000 images to enhance memory...and much, much more.For most people the challenge of Chinese is the learning of characters. Because of their abstract nature, they are very difficult to remember. The encoding method helps users convert all of the abstract parts of Chinese into simple images. The memory palace system makes these images easy to file away for access when they are needed. The combination of these two long-proven techniques has resulted in a system for learning Chinese that is remarkably effective.Because this system uses the brain's natural way of learning, it is no longer a tedious task to study Chinese, but is enjoyable, even fun! The speed at which learners progress in reading and speaking skills gives a boost in confidence and motivation to continue. The results of people using this method are a testament to it's power.Here are typical comments from those already using this remarkable system:"...the most creative and comprehensive method I’ve seen for studying Chinese characters. As an adult learning Chinese, I have struggled to retain newly learned characters over time. The “Encoding” method showed me how to store characters in long term memory using proven mnemonic methods and a clever system for breaking characters up into simpler images....""...In my first week of using the encoding method, I learned 50 characters. I have been using this method along with my Chinese classes for nine weeks now and can recognize, write, and properly pronounce over 400 characters...""...in one month and a half I’ve been able to learn over 270 characters! I never thought I’d be able to not only recognize but also write that many! It has also helped with my pronunciation of the Chinese syllables...""...Encoding Chinese method has truly been a priceless treasure in helping me learn this very difficult language. Within a short period of time I have been able to recognize and read many characters! Honestly, before this method, I didn’t enjoy the thought of learning hundreds and hundreds of characters. But now I look forward to my study sessions because this method makes it fun!""...This method is by far my favorite way of learning Chinese. Thank you!""...It’s not just my progress that gives me motivation to keep using this method to study, it’s just a fun way to study!""...I now keep his book on my desk as a reference whenever I need to learn a new word.Highly recommended!""...My goal is a hour a day, but time goes by so fast while studying that I’m always trying to find more time in the day to make just one more story for a character and then maybe just one more :) !"For more explanations and video descriptions of how this system works, go to encodingchinese.com.
