The Method:

Stress-free audio learning

Michel Thomas teaches you Mandarin Chinese through your own language, so there's no stress, and no anxiety. He builds it up, step by step, and you don't move on until you've absorbed and understood the previous point. And, as Michel Thomas said, 'What you understand, you know; and what you know, you don't forget.' With parallels to the way you learned your own language, you'll learn Mandarin Chinese in 'real-time' conditions. There is no need to stop for homework, additional exercises or vocabulary memorization.
