About Mandarin Chinese

 

Chinese in one form or another, is spoken by more people around the globe than any other language. It’s also the world’s oldest language and its cultural history can be traced back over 3,500 years. Mandarin is the Chinese language with the most speakers; it is the most dominant language of the People’s Republic of China so most people will be proficient in Mandarin even if it isn’t their mother tongue. It is also the main language of Taiwan. ‘Mandarin Chinese’ is not the term the Chinese themselves use, it is rather an historical term originally used by people from outside of China to describe the language because that was what Westerners heard spoken at Chinese courts, i.e. by the Mandarins who ruled the country at the time.

HAROLD GOODMAN

 

Dr Harold Goodman, a physician and surgeon, was taught by Michel Thomas for nearly ten years. During this time Michel Thomas’s goal was not to teach Dr Goodman a specific language (though he did instruct him in two of the languages he taught) but to train him to understand his method of teaching – which he then used to teach others, with great success. Dr Goodman teaches and practises in the US.
