2.0 out of 5 stars
Not a good choice,
This review is from: Instant Conversational Mandarin Chinese: Vocabulary with Book (Instant Language Courses) (Audio Cassette)
This course was my first attempt to learn Chinese. I was not very successful. The dialogue is not very interesting and my retention was not very good.I find Pimsleur to be far superior and mucn more expensive. My retention is much better and my Chinese friends are impressed. Chinese is not an easy language for English speakers, so multiple sources are good. Right now I'm still using this course. (it is nice having a text along with the audio. Wrting Chinese is a whole other hurdle. The accompanying text uses Pinyin which I feel is a good choice. Pinyin is Mainland China's attempt to improve literacy in China. It allows you to learn how to pronounce the words. Chinese characters are no help in this area. |
