But I vote we make the full title: "Mastering Mandarin: A Manual of Methods for Maximizing Mass Mimicry of the Main Modern Chinese Mode of Mouth Messages" Enough tomfoolery. This is a great site. See you soon. I voted for Mastering Mandarin.

As previous posters indicated it does sound somewhat like a book intended for an advanced audience. I suggest a subtitle like "A Beginner's Guide to the Chinese Language" or whatever to clear up that ambiguity. Mastering Mandarin is an awesome title and I'm surprised it's not already taken!

Skill, tip or secret are better than "master". I tried but couldn't create any title for the book.
