I bought my kids a book that uses that technique. Too bad there isn't an easy way to learn how to speak it and remember it.

LTC THomas, Chinese sounds just uses something you have not used in English. Learn to do what you do every day with the hands you have never used. It feels the same.
I used to utilize the attraction of the opposite sex to help master a new language. It's not always a convenient tool, so I must find new one. I may have to settle for less motivating technique.
My best Chinese teacher was Mr Casaera. A man with a typical stereotype appearance of a white man, married to a Taiwanese wife. He answer his phone in Chinese. Really warm and inviting smile, on the first meeting he only used Mandarin. Not until after everyone is situationed, he goes over in English what has been said. The new rules in his class, or the lack of English in his class. Every day we had 45 minutes of Mandarin and it is 100% mandarin in his class. 20+ words to vocabulary a week, used in sentence, and skit to be performed by Friday.
The 2nd best chinese teacher was a female chinese american married to an American GI, living in Texas. She also follow the strictly chinese in her class, and only have short minutes in between for question, answer, and elaboration in English. This class was provided by CENTCOM free to all you active duty :( one of my sad point of not being active duty. She ask us what our purpose were, and all 5 students purpose was to target the DLPT test. So we started reading and translating short news article everyday.
The 3rd best chinese teacher was a female chinese american, who was a teacher from china. She's the follow the Kung Fu path of training, building foundation until it's well versed before introducing anything usable. She had us worked on the alphabet which is never used in Chinese reading or speaking. Although I understand the important of gramma, and alphabet, it's not really a more important than meeting mission objective.
Enjoy all the learning you can get.
commandolibrary (it has many links to military and state department resources) It's a good step toward sharing resources vs disintegrated redundancy everywhere (waste)

Even public library are offering up free language training resources. Not the best tool or mean, but it's a mean that can get anyone to the end. Library in Florida in Orlando has a language lab with 5 computers for language practice. After 5 consecutive days of visiting, I see 1 man out of those 5 days. Under utilized for sure.
