Stop trying to memorize Chinese as random phrases. Learn Mandarin as a system you can hear, use, and remember. Most beginner Chinese courses give you scattered pieces: a tone chart, a phrase list, a grammar rule, a dialogue that moves too fast, and a few vocabulary words you forget by the next day. This course is built differently. Learn Chinese is a complete 20-hour beginner Mandarin course for English-speaking adults.

We all learn at least one language as children. But what does it take to learn six languages...or seventy? In Babel No More, Michael Erard, "a monolingual with benefits," sets out on a quest to meet language superlearners and make sense of their mental powers. On the way he uncovers the secrets of historical figures like Italian cardinal Giuseppe Mezzofanti, who was said to speak seventy-two languages; Emil Krebs, a pugnacious German diplomat, who spoke sixty-eight languages; and Lomb Kat, a Hungarian who taught herself Russian by reading Russian romance novels.

Dorren calculates that to speak fluently with half of the world’s 7.4 billion people in their mother tongues, you would need to know no fewer than 20 languages. He sets out to explore these top 20 world languages, which range from the familiar (French, Spanish) to the surprising (Malay, Javanese, Bengali).

By the end, you won't just recognize Japanese. You'll feel how it works.
