Summary:
Joliet Junior College English professor
Mike
Hainzinger started a YouTube channel "
Chinese
with
Mike
" where he taught introductory Mandarin
Chinese
from his garage. In the videos he calls himself "
Mike
Laoshi" or "Teacher
Mike
." Now the videos have been collected in a single volume. Students learn the basics, sentence and grammar structure, and some conversational
Chinese
. This 245-page course book includes two DVDs containing the first 60 videos of
Chinese
with
Mike
(which he calls
Seasons
1
&
2
) and an
audio
CD with native
Chinese
speakers. Some of the first lessons are still available for free on YouTube. Season
1
covers pinyin, the four tones and writing system using Simplified
Chinese
characters, common words, phrases and typical conversations. In no time you'll be able to talk about yourself, your family, your friends, your job, your home, your dogs and cats. If Season
2
wasn't included in the book, you wouldn't be able to tell people you can speak
Chinese
, you like to play basketball, or you want to eat beef fried rice. More importantly, you wouldn't even know how to ask permission to use the bathroom. Without Season
2
you wouldn't get very far in life.
Mike
builds confidence through his logical step-by-step design of the course. He explains pronunciation with clear, familiar examples, adds interesting facts about the intricacies of language, includes lots of cultural tidbits, recognizes and explains thoroughly troublesome areas, and uses native speakers to help you with listening and speaking. The
coursebook
contains 256 pages of addictive learning material. The two DVDs contain 60 instructional videos. The MP3 CD-ROM contains
audio
practice.
Mike
Laoshi (Teacher
Mike
) will astound you with his unparalleled ability to make learning Mandarin
Chinese
fun and easy. Be warned, his teaching style is highly addictive, so if you have a family, career or social life, you may want to put those on hold for a little while.
