Friendly human interaction

We exchange a few sentences in English about your life and work - whatever is important to you at the moment.

We use our talks as a framework to systematically refresh previous material and deliver new vocabulary and grammar that are best suited to your level and current needs.

You are guided to translate things into Chinese and build your active skills - of course with great patience.

POWERFUL CHARACTERS

It is common for Chinese characters to appear in many words.

However, some of them are more important in this aspect because they represent what we can call big general ideas.
In the Chineseffect SMART System, they are called POWERFUL CHARACTERS. 

Building your vocabulary around POWERFUL CHARACTERS helps you:
- learn very useful vocabulary
- progress quickly
- store the words deep in your memory

See it in action below 🙂

Immersive language learning

This method focuses on exposing you to the language in a natural context, much like how children acquire their first language.

You are NOT under any pressure to memorize vocabulary and grammar rules. Instead pick up the language through consistent exposure and usage.

The main advantages of this approach are:

• Natural Absorption: Just like children, you'll absorb the language effortlessly by being surrounded by it. Listen, see, and interact with the language in real-life contexts without the stress of memorization.
• Enhanced Retention: Studies show that immersion leads to deeper, more lasting retention. Words and phrases stick with you because you're using them in meaningful ways every day.
• Contextual Understanding: Learn words and grammar in context, not isolation. Understand how the language works in real conversations, making you more confident and fluent.
• Goodbye to boring drills: Our immersive method makes learning Chinese fun and engaging with interactive content and real-world scenarios.
• Flexible Learning Pace: No rush, no pressure. Progress at your own pace, and enjoy the journey of language learning without the anxiety of instant recall.
• Cultural Insight: Gain more than just language skills. Immerse yourself in the culture, traditions, and nuances that come with it, enriching your overall learning experience.

SMART Sentences take advantage of the fact that some words in Chinese sound quite similar (and sometimes even contain the same character).
Some people see these sound similarities as an obstacle, but we see them as something we can have fun with.

The efficiency of SMART Sentences lies in two scientifically proven facts:
→ associations boost retention
→ emotions boost retention

SMART Sentences make you smile, which is a very powerful memory booster - along with the associative process.

See one example below:

As a student, you get access to the rich CONTENT LIBRARY that you can go through whenever you want.

During or after each class, you receive links to custom-made interactive online materials that you will find nowhere else.

The purpose of these materials is to help you build another connection with the content that you learned in a FUN and PLAYFUL way.

They are full of beautiful content that was developed with the original Chineseffect font.

The font was designed to help you imprint the characters deep into your brain.
