Pinyin - Learning the Chinese Language through Phonics

Pinyin (sounds forming syllables) allows anyone to learn the Chinese Language through phonetics rather than Chinese Characters. The Pinyin Software, offers a language learning environment through both vocalized Chinese vocabularies and vocalized Chinese situational dialogs. Idiomatic Chinese sentence patterns with English translations offer the reader involvement in realistic language situations, thereby improving their study through easier comprehension. And since grammar is not the main concern here, there are only brief grammatical references where the author thinks it is appropriate. This methodology affords you the opportunity to learn the Chinese Language in the most efficient manner possible and in the minimum amount of time.

Through the use of phonetics, you will hear the correct pronunciation for each consonant and vowel, Chinese word, and Chinese sentence. Furthermore, to aid in increasing your Chinese vocabulary, a "flash card" learning system is provided, with the material organized as follows:

Vocalized pronunciation of each consonant, and all four tones of every vowel
