This product provides thorough grounding in pronunciation of Chinese (something difficult to grasp in the beginning) and takes the beginner through exercises and even includes the Chinese characters along with the Pinyin in the instructional book. This is very useful for the beginner who wants to fuction in reading and even writing. Offers some useful structures for continuing learning.

Found this language course of little use as a primary tool. Maybe it would work as a supplement to another course but the pace is far too fast and it's rather difficult to synch the audio with the book. That said, since I didn't like it from the get-go, I set it aside and didn't get past, perhaps, the first 30 pages. Maybe if one sticks with it, the course might make sense.
