5.0 out of 5 stars Plesantly Surprised, April 16, 2009

This review is from: Learn Chinese Now! Win/Mac (CD-ROM)

This was not my first product for learning Mandarin. This CD has lots of language depth and multimedia features. This is not a casual learn while you listen type of product, it is for getting down to the business of studying. It has buttons to play a recording of the whole sentence or just one word. It also has a recorder that will grade you on your pronunciation. I am very pleased with the product.
