5.0 out of 5 stars This is a good book for use in China, Singapore, Malaysia..., July 27, 1999

This review is from: Spoken Amoy Hokkien (2 Volume Set) (Paperback)
A very good book, perhaps the only book on the language of the southern Fukianese people. I bought this book for grammatical references to my Spoken Taiwanese, and I must say that you can get details of how words are pronounced and used. The Spoken Language series are different from other language books I've read in that the former didn't seem boring to read after a while. If you want to learn Amoy Hokkien, I recommend to get this book and buy the audio cassettes with it. It's definitely worth it if you're serious about learning the language that's spoken in many southeastern-Asian Chinese community.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mislabeled Product, February 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The audio cassette version of this product being sold is not the full product. It only includes some of the tapes. This product is incomplete. Be careful before ordering it. I ordered through a reseller as well as through Amazon directly and ended up with the same problem both times.

4.0 out of 5 stars great introduction to spoken Amoy Hokkien, April 19, 2010
By 
ksiezycowy (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews
This text is a great start to learning Amoy Hokkien (a Chinese dialect very similar to Taiwanese as spoken in Taiwan). Unfortunately the text is somewhat dated, but then again I would think that you could learn effectively from this or the courses sister volume Spoken Taiwanese, and simply learn to correct your speech to the modern norm quite easily. After all, if you have all the grammar and vocabulary you need, and understand the language, you should be able to modify it based on how you hear others talking. The base grammar and vocabulary of any language doesn't change that quickly.

As far as my review of the lessons, please see my review of Spoken Taiwanese here on Amazon.
