Thank you for your interest in HyperChina, the brand new Chinese learning software.
Before embarking on this project, we, the developers of HyperChina, had been instructors of beginning and advanced Chinese with years of experience teaching English-speaking students at the University of California, Berkeley. After teaching hundreds of students, we know exactly what gives a new learner a headache, and try our best to make the learning process as painless as possible with HyperChina. What we have put into this program is practically everything we know about teaching this language. We can assure you that HyperChina is far superior to textbooks used in universities in the U.S.
If you have ever looked at other language-learning software, then you know that either they are existing textbooks, tapes, flash card drills, or phrase books converted to the computer format, or they only teach you parts of a language. Over three years in the making, HyperChina is a complete one-year course in beginning Chinese that has been designed from ground up to take advantage of the power of self-paced interactive learning. Every aspect of HyperChina has been created with the intention of making this complicated language easy and even fun to learn.
If you’re eager to do business with China, to communicate with your Chinese friends, to study Chinese medicine, history, art, or to prepare for a trip to China, then look no further. Get HyperChina and start speaking and writing Chinese right away.
At $195, HyperChina is not cheap, but aren't you tired of those cheap programs that you never use because they are unusable? With HyperChina, you really get more than what you pay for – there are about 2,000 sentences in the course (all with clear pronunciation), animated calligraphy and complete grammar notes; and we've also included everything from a 1,200-entry talking dictionary to talking clock and calendar, and for cultural information we have everything from names of politicians and movie stars to samples of Peking Opera and pop music. (The only thing you won't find in HyperChina is QuickTime movies.) Also, look at it this way: how many Chinese characters and sentences can a teacher (assuming you can find someone really qualified) teach you to speak, read, and write in 13 one-hour sessions (cost = $195)?
This demo only shows you a tiny portion of HyperChina (the full program includes 18 high-density disks). If you want to know more about HyperChina after running the demo, please call us. In the meantime, enjoy the demo and learn to say and write ‘Hello’ in Chinese!
