Learning Chinese Through Your Computer!
If modern history continues to head in the direction Firefly predicted, we should all start learning Chinese. Fortunately, there are some very cool programs that help teach Chinese and other programs that provide computer support to reinforce what you learn! There are almost as many different ways to learn Mandarin Chinese on the computer as there are teaching styles. Some of the best software for learning Mandarin Chinese follows:
Active Chinese may well be the most comprehensive computer-based tool for learning Mandarin Chinese. With clear delineations for different education levels from Kindergarten through fourth-year college levels, Active Chinese takes a multimedia approach to teaching Mandarin Chinese. Through pictures, movies and audio clips, Active Chinese provides a comprehensive approach to learning different levels of Mandarin and provides the tools to reinforce and test the lessons.
Learning styles differ and CCHAR Chinese Character Software is for those who learn best through writing and reading, as opposed to hearing and speaking. CCHAR’s program teaches users the finer points of Chinese calligraphy and how to recognize the characters in written Mandarin.
Most people who want to learn Mandarin want to learn to speak Mandarin Chinese. The L-CEPS Free Chinese Lessons software online has a very direct word with phonetic translation interface that teaches users key phrases. While this might teach users a very limited set of Mandarin Chinese lines, it does reinforce them well and provides a very clear progression of lessons to make the process fun.
For those on the go, there is the HNHSoft English-Chinese Talking Dictionary for smartphones. Less of a learning tool and more of a support mechanism, this dictionary may be installed into your smartphone including the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. This dictionary offers fast translations of English words into Chinese and features an interface that clearly illustrates how to pronounce each word. Even if you learn Chinese with one of the other programs, the HNHSoft app can be a real lifesaver for travelers to fall back on.
Regardless of what the future holds, anyone who wants to learn Chinese will find the software to learn Mandarin Chinese less expensive and less intimidating than private lessons or classes. With computers, smartphones and these programs, learning Mandarin Chinese can be cool and fun!
