FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
InstantSpeak launches Learn Chinese and Speak Mandarin website and software Portsmouth, NH -- November 18, 2005 – Students of Chinese have a revolutionary new tool to help them learn Chinese. InstantSpeak Chinese makes learning Chinese easy by combining real life conversations with accelerated learning techniques and the most audio content of any language program. Developed by InstantSpeak LLC, a language training company, Instantspeakchinese.com differs from classroom teaching and audio courses by simulating a conversation between the user and a native speaker. Users are put in a variety of real world situations and take part in conversations using the most frequently used vocabulary and language patterns. Users start with basic conversations that cover introductions and getting to know people through background information. Lessons build on each other until the user is fluent and is discussing cultural and current events topics. One of the strengths of the program is that there is a tremendous emphasis put on pronunciation. A common obstacle learners encounter is that pronunciation can seem difficult if not taught properly. InstantSpeak gives users access to normal and slow playback speeds for each conversation, sentence, and word. "Many people who have had trouble learning to speak a language believe incorrectly that they are 'just not good at learning languages.' In reality it is because most language classes are not ideal environments for learning to speak a language. Usually little time is spent on spoken language, and when it is taught, students practice with each other and pick up bad habits leaving little room for progress" says Jim Miller, spokesman for InstantSpeak. "It is not uncommon for people who have studied a language for a few years at a university to go to a country where the language is spoken and discover that they can not have a basic conversation. One of the reasons for this is that students often do not have enough practice taking part in conversations that occur in everyday life," Miller added. Using InstantSpeak's personalized review, users have the opportunity to spend hours practicing a variety of conversations in different situations. InstantSpeak also features a talking English - Chinese Dictionary, a section that teaches Pinyin, and vocabulary and phrase sections that pronounce over 2500 of the most frequently used vocabulary and phrases. These items can be added to user defined flash card sets.
