When it comes to learning Chinese, one of the most challenging aspects for learners is mastering pronunciation and memorizing vocabulary. But don't worry—there's an easier way!
We're thrilled to introduce the Link Words Video Series, a technique designed to help you effortlessly learn Chinese words. Let's get started!
About Link Words
The Link Words method, developed by That's Mandarin, is a unique approach to memorizing Chinese vocabulary. It works by creating associations between Chinese words and familiar "link words" in English, making it easier to retain new vocabulary.
When you start learning a language, the words don't make any sense at first. It's not easy to make your brain process them into meaningful words. But you can help your brain by building connections. Let's explore a few examples 👇

要
yào
to want
Now, if you say 我要 (wǒ yào), it means "I want" and you can use it to ask for something from a friend, a waiter, or a cashier.
To remember "I love you" in Chinese, think of "wall," "eye," and "knee." These words sound a lot like 我 (wǒ), 爱 (ài), and 你 (nǐ), making it easy to recall.
我爱你。
Wǒ ài nǐ.
I love you.
