To learn Chinese can seem to be an insurmountable task. There are seemingly too many difficulties for soembody of English language origin to ever master this fascinating language:
- different writing with thousands of signs
- words that if they are pronounced mean something totally different
- physical distance to China (you can’t just quickly hop over to spend a weekend)
To learn Chinese well, one really would need to spend some time in China. And then where in China? There are different dialects of Chinese, with Mandarin Chinese being the main language. But then there is Cantonese Chinese, spoken in HongKong and Southern China, where there are a lot of economical activities…
One solution that will not make you perfect in either Mandarin or Cantonese, but will give you an excellent start and will immerse you into the language immediately is to listen to Pimsleur Chinese language audios. Everybody I know who used the Pimsleur method is raving about it. These audios allow you to go on a virtual trip to China, every time you listen to them.
Means, you are getting used to the different pronunciation, the ‘music’ of the Chinese language and you allow your brain to acquire the language similar to the way you first learned your own English language. This works well and is a great basis for then continuing to study either one of the two main dialects, Mandarin or Cantonese.
Downloadable Pimsleur language lessons are available from here:
Give the Pimsleur method a try, you will be astonished how fast you will speak your first few phrases in Chinese, either Mandarin Chinese or Cantonese Chinese! Have fun!

Paulo Coelho‘s enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world.
This story, dazzling in its simplicity and wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an Alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a meditation on the treasures found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.
For the month of July 2008 you can download this magnificient audio book for the specially discounted price of ONLY $13.04!

If you are among the people who wish they had worked a bit harder while at school, especially when it comes to languages, there is hope:
The Pimsleur language learning system is great for learning any language in your spare and ‘idle’ time: The Pimsleur audios help your brain to pick up a second language very much the same you learned your first language: By hearing words, phrases and conversations in the new language, you start to unconciously associate meaning to them and before you know what happened, you will be understanding and speaking the new language.
Use the time you are driving to work, doing manual housework or other chores that do not really use your full brain capacity to listen to the Pimsleur language audios and become proficient in the language you wanted to speak for so long but never really got around to learning.
Curious? Listen to sound samples of the Pimsleur language learning system here.

An audio bible can help you with your bible studies. Find more time to listen to the bible when commuting or doing manual work.
An audio bible on CD is expensive, to hold the entire Scripture many CD’s are needed, and to take these along with you all the time is not very practical.
The new NIV Dramatized audio bible is the better alternative, and a much more affordable alternative at that. The NIV bible is today’s most read, most trusted translation.
The multiple-voice dramatization brings the Bible to life with world-class narration and colorful, true-to-the-text character renderings. The fully orchestrated background with sound effects provides further enhancement. So that you immediately find what you want to listen to, the downloadable version includes a tracklist on downloadable pdf.
Whilst the physical New International Version Bible costs USD 99, you may download this NIV bible for a fraction of this amount! You save and pay less than one third of the physical price.
Listen to a short sound sample here and download your own NIV bible now:

In Julius Caesar, there are no heroes, only heroic words spoken by men of ambition, arrogance, and jealousy. Yet Julius Caesar is also one of Shakespeare’s most popular and polished works, a seamless blend of highly-stylized oratory and penetrating soliloquies that lays bare the innermost workings of the human mind.
Here is Shakespeare in his prime, taking the story of history’s most notorious assassination and fashioning from it a brilliant and at times chilling indictment of politics by violence and of how even the strongest and noblest of minds can be corrupted by flattery and the lure of power.
During February you can get this Shakespeare play at a great, specially reduces price (60% off compared to the phyisical CD audio book in-store price!)

Danish is a language with a special and very friendly sound, just as are the Danish people. When you’re visiting Denmark, be it for business or for pleasure, the Danish will appreciate your Danish language skills, even it’s only a few phrases. In my experience it does not really matter if you speak a language well. Simply the fact that you tried and that you have gone through the trouble of spending time learning a few words and phrases opens up doors wide that might otherwise not open at all.
Most people in Denmark understand and speak also the English and German language, but they will highly appreciate your Danish language skills! So why not give it a few hours and listen to the Pimsleur Danish Compact Course. It contains five hours of spoken Danish language practice in ten 30-minute lessons, and also contains a booklet and the User’s Guide to introduce you to the Pimsleur Method.
The Pimsleur method was devised by the well known language educator Dr Paul Pimsleur. His language courses provide the listener with a comprehensive, self instructional, step-by-step guide on how to learn a new language. You will love the fast progress you make when learning Danish! The Pimsleur approach is so effective because it is based on tried and tested techniques and principles that have proved to enable rapid and successful language learning.
Here’s a download link where you can grab your Pimsleur Danish Compact Course anytime.
