OK, but they blew it on the CD,
By
This review is from: The Everything Speaking Mandarin Chinese Book (Paperback)
I was enjoying the cultural material, and thought they did a reasonably good job of introducing pinyin and the sounds of Mandarin, and providing practice material in the book and CD.
It all fell apart though when I got to page 39, where I was supposed to "repeat the following sentences after the reader as you listen to the CD". It's a conversation between two speakers, and the problem is that they do not pause between sentences as they are spoken to give you a chance to emulate them. The tracks for practicing individual vocabulary words have pauses for repetition, but all the practice conversations I checked do not. I don't know how this is supposed to aid me pronouncing sentences in Mandarin. It was a real disappointment, and I had to find a new book. |
