This is a theoretical analysis and reviews of the best Chinese learning software. Here I try to find out the best Chinese learning software and answer the question by asking:
1. What is the best way to learn Chinese language?
2. What are the differences between learning Chinese and other languages?
What is the best way to learn Chinese?
There are 4 proved, most effective & most important modern language learning techniques or principals which also work on learning Chinese language.
a) Listening & Instant Speaking.
Are there any people learn a language only by watch TV without speaking. No, there are not. If you only practice your listening, you can only learn listening. And the separated practice of listening and speaking is proved to be very inefficient. And it’s the same as reading & writing. There is no such good software can improve your Chinese listening and speaking skills at the same time, except for a software called SuperChinese.
b) Language / Chinese Immersion
Language / Chinese Immersion means the learner is surrounded in the language and directly learn the target language. For example, when you use the SuperChinese software, you learn Chinese language by directly using it, you do not learn from the translation or interpretation. By contrast many software learning application just give you a translation, what you remember is the translation, not the source language / Chinese.
c) Practical & Simple Language is a tool.
If we cannot use it in your work & in your life, what’s point of the learning? The useless practice will exhaust our memory, time & energy, so good designed Chinese learning software should tell us the most useful & the most practical contents in the very beginning.
