Learn Chinese sentence order with just One Rule

Slow Motion Technique is Silk Mandarin's in-house developed methodology that teaches you the correct Mandarin word order with just ONE rule.

As you might know, different languages could have different word orders. Let's have a look at the sentences in the picture below.

We speak English in this way:
- I drink coffee at the coffee shop.

However, if you speak Chinese in the English order:
- 我喝咖啡在咖啡店。(Wǒ hē kāfēi zài kāfēi diàn.)

You've just made a common mistake influenced by English!

So, how can we get rid of English thinking way when speaking Chinese?

How to switch to the Chinese mindset?

Follow our Slow Motion Technique!

Imagine the sentence we presented as if it were seen in a movie, playing in slow motion. In this way, you can clearly see each step:
- The first step is "I, as a subject, exist"
- The second step is "at the coffee shop"
- The third step is "drink coffee"

When you combine these steps together, you have the perfect Chinese sentence:
- 我在咖啡店喝咖啡。(Wǒ zài kāfēi diàn hē kāfēi.)

Basically, with the Slow Motion Technique, the Chinese order is exactly the order in which the actions are taking place. 

If you start to view what you want to say with this Slow Motion Technique, you will never get the Chinese order wrong.
