A large number of independent studies have shown the method used in Linkword courses is up to 3x faster than normal learning methods. Words will just stick in your mind. Even if you think you are poor at languages, Linkword will show you that you can do it.

If you struggled with languages at school it is almost certainly not your fault. It is the way you were taught. Level 1 Chinese (Mandarin) will teach you an extensive vocabulary and basic grammar in 10-12 hours, enough to communicate effectively in a large number of situations you will meet abroad. It is ideal for Travel, Business or Schoolwork and for all ages.
