Learn to Speak Mandarin with Confidence — for Daily Life and Church Ministry

Are you an English-speaking Christian living in Taiwan—or preparing to serve, study, or worship in a Mandarin-speaking environment? Learning to Speak Mandarin through Pinyin (用拼音學說華語) is designed especially for you.

This unique resource combines a practical conversational Mandarin textbook with a clear and accessible Chinese–English comparative guide, helping learners not only speak Mandarin but also understand how it works.

The book is divided into two carefully structured parts:

Part One: Conversational Mandarin for Daily and Church Life

Through 12 thoughtfully arranged units, beginners are guided step by step using the widely respected Notional-and-Situational Approach. Lessons reflect real-life situations—from everyday communication to church settings—so learners can immediately apply what they study. All vocabulary and example sentences are accompanied by Hanyu Pinyin, making the book ideal for classroom use as well as for independent learners familiar with the Pinyin system.

Part Two: Supplementary Guide to Conversational Mandarin

This in-depth reference section compares English and Mandarin grammar in a clear and practical manner. It explains essential sentence patterns, tense and aspect expressions, measure words, function words, and the Mandarin sound system—including initials, finals, and tones. Carefully organized chapters allow learners to review, clarify, and deepen their understanding at their own pace.

Whether you are a missionary, church worker, student, or simply eager to communicate more effectively in Mandarin, this book provides both the structure and insight you need to grow in confidence and competence.

Begin your journey into Mandarin with clarity, purpose, and faith.
