Unlock the Wisdom of Sun Tzu—While Mastering Mandarin Chinese!

Step into the world of ancient Chinese strategy with The Art of War for Language Learners—a unique bilingual Chinese-English audiobook that blends timeless wisdom with modern Mandarin Chinese language learning.

Narrated by the authors themselves, LingLing and Huw, this edition brings Sun Tzu’s legendary classic to life with clear, line-by-line narration—first in Chinese, then in English—designed to sharpen your listening and speaking skills in both languages. For those who want to challenge their Chinese listening skills, a Chinese-only audio version of each chapter is also included.

This audiobook features all 13 chapters of The Art of War, thoughtfully adapted and translated for today’s Chinese language learners. It’s the perfect resource to:

• Build and reinforce intermediate to advanced Chinese vocabulary and grammar structures

• Immerse yourself in the most learner-friendly bilingual edition of Sun Tzu’s masterpiece

• Absorb key Chinese philosophies that have shaped centuries of thought and culture

• Explore timeless leadership, negotiation, and strategic principles still relevant today

• Deepen your understanding of Chinese culture and worldview through authentic classical text

For a more comprehensive learning experience, check out the paperback or eBook version of the book at LingLingMandarin.com. It presents all 13 chapters in Simplified Chinese characters (as used in mainland China), with Pinyin to support pronunciation, and line-by-line English translations. Additional learning materials—such as vocabulary lists, Chinese-only versions of each chapter, famous quotes, idiom and proverb breakdowns, and interactive discussions—are also included to help you improve your Chinese reading skills and learn at your own pace.
