New enhanced Chinese iBook
We’re delighted to announce the launch of One Minute Mandarin Enhanced Edition on the iBookstore. This course introduces the basics of Mandarin Chinese in short lessons of 2-3 minutes. It is based on the original version of the One Minute Mandarin audio series which we released in 2008. This new version includes video lessons which feature the words and phrases on the screen as you listen. View the video below in which Mark gives you a guided tour of this beautiful ebook.
Video lessons
The enhanced interactive edition of One Minute Mandarin includes ten video lessons. All videos include the phrases of each lesson in written form, both in Chinese characters and in the romanized Pinyin version. The book can be viewed in the iBooks app which is freely available to download from the App Store. iBooks allows learners to highlight items and to take notes.
Bonus features
In addition to the note-taking and highlighting functions, One Minute Mandarin Enhanced Edition also features interactive elements which will help learners get maximum benefit out of the materials and consolidate their skills further. Interactive elements include:
- A comprehensive glossary of all Mandarin words and phrases included in the book;

Other titles
In addition to One Minute Mandarin we have also started developing iBooks versions of our other popular courses and these will be launched over the coming months.
We’ve combined our popular One Minute Languages courses into a bundle and are making these available for a hugely reduced price. Each course normally costs £5 (French, Greek, Italian, Japanese and Mandarin are £10 as they include additional bonus items), but we’re offering the entire One Minute Languages library for the reduced price of £37 (+VAT). You can learn the basics of sixteen languages for less than the price of a coffee* per language!
