Le mandarin en pyjama

Mandarin in your pajamas is learning Mandarin in the evening, in peace and quiet, five minutes before bed.

A ninja world, a level map to climb, belts to earn: you progress like in a game, except that in the end you speak Mandarin.

SHORT SESSIONS, EVERY EVENING
The principle can be summed up in one sentence: ten minutes every evening is better than an hour on Sunday. Each level can be completed in a few minutes, without feeling guilty if you skip a day.

LEARN THROUGH PLAY
A progress map to traverse zone by zone, quizzes that review what has been covered, vocabulary sets to memorize, and a character that progresses with you.

BELTS, NOT POINTS
Progress is measured in belts, from white to black. You always know where you are and what remains to be accomplished.

LESSONS, NOT JUST QUIZZES
A complete lesson section: pinyin, tones and characters, vocabulary lists by theme, rules explained simply, and a personal notebook for review.

LEARN MANDARIN WITHOUT GETTING DISCOURAGED
- the four tones, heard and repeated before being explained
- pinyin first, characters second, never both at the same time
- characters introduced by families, with their radicals and strokes
- classifiers, those little words that French lacks
- a grammar simpler than you think: no conjugation, no gender, no plurals
