SmartBabble Mandarin Volume 1

Are you tired of repeating the same boring vocabulary words from your foreign language tapes and CDs over and over again, only to forget them the very next day?  Starting with the simple premise that the majority of motivated people give up on their goals of learning a foreign language due to boredom, SmartBabble books are designed to keep you engaged through the use of vibrant images and entertaining captions.


Studies show that the more areas of your brain that are active and the more contextual links your brain can create during language learning, the easier learning a language will be.  By drawing on both your visual and auditory cortex, SmartBabble books encourage you to use all parts of your brain.  The combination of visual images with a mix of both basic and advanced words enables your brain to form the  necessary contextual links that help you remember what you’re learning.


Each caption aims to increase your exposure to common words and grammatical structures used in everyday conversations.  For each word in the caption, SmartBabble books provides a clear pronunciation guide and translation to ensure you learn quickly and effectively.


“SmartBabble books are like children’s books but for adults who are trying to learn a foreign language.”


SmartBabble books are great when used on their own or in conjunction with a formal language learning program.  Think of them as the fun books you used to read as a child when you had free time in the summer.  They weren’t Shakespeare or Thoreau, but they made learning relevant and entertaining. 


SmartBabble Mandarin Volume 1 is the first volume of SmartBabble books for English speaking Mandarin language learners.  It provides 33 flashcards, each with its own vivid color image and caption, along with over 350+ Mandarin word cards for you to review.
