For years I’ve been studying under Teacher Emily’s method, helping to expand and refine my Mandarin speaking and reading abilities. I’m excited to share her methodology for learning Mandarin Chinese!

Each lesson centers on a 50-minute core session, offering 30–50 hours of total study and practice. Whether you are a total beginner looking for a gentle entry point or an experienced learner wanting to refine everyday conversational skills, this book provides an engaging, flexible way to master the basics.

Endorsed by TOCFL (Test of Chinese as Foreign Language), these books are perfect for learning on-the-go. They are lightweight textbooks, designed to be handy for your subway commute or learning in a coffee shop. The books are designed to give you a rapid capture of Mandarin Chinese basics and have both English and Japanese translations.
