Learning Mandarin

Posted by Charlie @ Discovering Mandarin Friday 17 July 2009 2 comments

I am Charlie a 21 year old English, university student and am learning Mandarin with the help of Rosetta Stone software complimented with a couple of additional books to give me the grammatical help I found that I needed with the Rosetta stone style of learning. I have been learning for about a week, and thought that I would like to start a blog where my findings about Mandarin, China, and Chinese Culture can be discussed and hopefully form a community of people that are also similarly interested in learning the Chinese Mandarin language.

I have found it hard to find other people where I live that are interested in starting to learn, and especially past just the basic language, I am interested in the history, culture and food of the Chinese people.

I aim to contribute several articles a week through various aspects of Chinese culture and will look into anything brought up by your readers in comments or requests.

I also am aiming to provide regular language updates, as this was my primary motive for setting up the blog, and hopefully providing useful information to others similarly starting to learn the language.

So for now, I hope that you will be interested in delving deeper into my community blog, and will continue to visit and join in my adventure, Discovering Mandarin.

The Resources I am using to help me Learn Mandarin:

Complete Mandarin Chinese Book/CD Pack
Rosetta Stone: Chinese (Mandarin) Level 1, 2 and 3 Set (Mac/PC CD)
