Introduction
Welcome, to those of you who have completed the Michel Thomas Method
Mandarin Chinese courses and to those of you who are about to experience
a uniquely exciting way to learn and improve your Mandarin Chinese!
5
My name is Rose Lee Hayden, and I had the distinct privilege of working
closely with Michel Thomas for several decades, in particular, teaching what
he referred to as his ‘second phase’ language courses. This ‘second phase’
built upon the structural knowledge of the language that Michel Thomas so
brilliantly provided in his foundation courses. As Michel Thomas himself
often said, ‘I built the house, but it is up to you to decorate it!’
And decorate it we shall in this Michel Thomas Method: Mandarin
Chinese Vocabulary Course that reinforces and expands on what you
have already learned having completed the Michel Thomas Method
Mandarin Chinese courses. And for those of you who have not done
these courses, I urge you to do so. You will be surprised at how painlessly
they will teach or reinforce your Mandarin Chinese and will introduce you to
a unique method of language learning.
At the outset, let me stress what this course does not attempt to do and how
it may differ a little from your previous experiences with the Michel Thomas
Method Mandarin Chinese courses. First, this course does not and cannot
re-teach the original courses, but rather builds directly on them. Therefore,
you may wish to review and keep reviewing your Michel Thomas Method
Mandarin Chinese courses to re-familiarize yourself with structural items
and basic vocabulary previously introduced by Harold Goodman.
Second, it is important to state that learning vocabulary is not the same as
learning structure, even though this course teaches vocabulary the Michel
Thomas way. You may find it helpful to review course content more
frequently. But let me reassure you that this more frequent review is no
reflection on your ability, but rather relates to the fact that you have moved
on to another level of instruction with vocabulary acquisition as its basic
goal. Throughout his ‘second phase’ instruction, Michel Thomas frequently

asked his students to review and reinforce the basics before moving on.
Because his methodology is cumulative, you must never rush ahead. Each
building block in some way relates to previous content and uses it in a
carefully constructed way.
What is the Michel Thomas Method?
The Michel Thomas Method is unlike anything you have ever experienced,
especially when you compare it with how languages are traditionally taught
in schools or universities. It produces startling results within a remarkably
short period of time, all without the need for books, drills, memorizing, or
homework. Michel Thomas believed that anyone can learn another
language having learned their own, and he developed his unique
methodology that proved this to be true for many thousands of students.
7
Third, those of you who expect drills of each and every word in a category –
family members, days of the week, and so on – don’t! Michel Thomas
actively discouraged memorization, rote learning, writing out lists and any
and all related activities of this type. He knew that we do not learn this way,
and that the stress generated by these means actually impedes learning.
Learning a language the Michel Thomas way builds proficiency, self-
confidence and engages you right from the start. The Michel Thomas
Method breaks a language down to its component parts and presents these
structures in carefully planned sets of exercises that enable you to
reconstruct the language yourself, to form your own sentences that say what
you want, when you want. Almost without you realizing it, you will retain
and apply what you have learned and will be motivated to learn more.
Without the stress of memorization, note taking and homework, you can
relax and let language learning take place as nature intended.
I dedicate this course to the memory of Michel Thomas and to all of you
who have chosen to build your Mandarin Chinese vocabulary the Michel
Thomas way.

Who was Michel Thomas?
Michel Thomas was head of the Michel
Thomas Language Centers and taught
languages for over 50 years, primarily in New
York, Beverly Hills and London until his recent
death, aged 90. A graduate of the Department
of Philology at the University of Bordeaux and
student of psychology at the Sorbonne, his
harrowing wartime experiences escaping Hitler
and fighting with the French Resistance made
mastering languages a matter of survival for
Michel Thomas.
But you have to experience the Michel Thomas Method to believe it. Within
hours you will be creating sophisticated sentences in a wide variety of
situations, as those of you know who have completed the Michel Thomas
language courses. These courses provided you with functional proficiency
in your chosen language and are the foundation upon which this Michel
Thomas Method: Vocabulary Course series builds, phrase by phrase,
the Michel Thomas way.
How did we come to develop this
Michel Thomas Method:
Vocabulary Course
series?
With nearly 1 million copies of Michel Thomas language courses sold in
the UK alone, and with thousands of enthusiasts who never thought they
could ever learn another language wanting ‘more Michel’, we at Hodder
Education are particularly pleased to offer this new course series that
preserves and extends the language teaching legacy of ‘The Language
Master’, Michel Thomas. Working with us right up to the moment of his
death aged 90, Michel Thomas was in the process of creating a series of
Michel Thomas dedicated his long professional life to probing the learning
process. He focused on the teaching and learning of foreign languages as a
perfect test case for his revolutionary learning system, one that made him
the world’s foremost language teacher to the celebrities, diplomats,
corporate executives as well as others seeking to acquire or enhance their
proficiency in another language.

Reflecting his prior input, this series is the product of a new team of authors
and presenters who have either taught for Michel Thomas, or have utilized
his methodology in their own classrooms and professional courses.
everyday expressions, and will significantly boost your confidence in your
ability to speak, listen to and understand Mandarin Chinese.

You may find that it takes a while to get used to the Michel Thomas way of
teaching. It is innovative and quite unlike any other method you will have
come across. But once you have experienced the excitement of painless
learning the Michel Thomas way, you will be hooked!
With this series we hope to provide what Michel Thomas and his ever-
expanding number of ‘students’ would expect of us, both as educational
publishers and professionals who love languages, teaching them and
learning them. We dedicate this series and others that we will be developing
for schools, businesses and individuals from all walks of life to our much-
esteemed and beloved ‘Language Master’, Michel Thomas.

Who is this
Michel Thomas Method: Mandarin Chinese Vocabulary
Course
for?
People who have already learned Mandarin Chinese with
Michel Thomas
This Michel Thomas Method: Mandarin Chinese Vocabulary Course
does just what its name suggests: builds on the content Harold Goodman
presented in the Michel Thomas Method Mandarin Chinese

How are the recordings best used?
Relax! Make yourself comfortable before playing the recordings and try
to let go of the tensions and anxieties traditionally associated with
language learning.
Do not write or take any notes
.
Remove notebooks, pens,
dictionaries and anything else associated with traditional, school-based
language learning.
Do not try to remember. While participating in the recording and
afterwards, it is important that you do not try to memorize specific words
or expressions. It is a basic principle of the Michel Thomas Method that the
responsibility for the student’s learning lies with the teacher. Your learning
is based on understanding, and what you understand you don’t forget.
Interact fully with the recordings. Use the pause button and
respond out loud (or in a whisper, or in your head if you are in a public
place) before hearing the correct response.
This is essential
. You do not
learn by repetition but by thinking out the answers to each question; it is
by your own thought process that you truly learn and retain structure
and vocabulary.
Give yourself time to think. You have all the time you need to think
through your response. Your pause button is the key to
your
learning! Be

Method: Mandarin Chinese Vocabulary Course will introduce you to a
