4.0 out of 5 stars Good for learning few hundred words, November 19, 2004

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Chinese Mandarin - Beginning Level (CD-ROM)

This program is decent for absolute beginners - just to introduce you to few hundred words. Don't count to be able to communicate in Chinese with this program. You'll learn how to count to twenty, colors, names of some food itesm, clothing items, how to tell time and few basic expressions.

What does work for this program is games, which are fun to do and help to retain the information. The program though seems almost better suited for kids than for adults - well, just so you can say you know few words in Chinese.

This is a laid-back way to learn Chinese vocabulary. It's good for kids and adults alike.
