1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money or your time, August 1, 2002
By A Customer
It's astonishing that anybody could find this item useful. From the first lesson, inconsistencies abound. After learning to count to ten, one gets an illustrative dialog featuring an alternative form of the number "two", not yet introduced. In fact, alternate forms appear without comment seemingly at random. Much of the enunciation on the tape is quite difficult to hear, especially that of the unfamiliar phenomes. The writers & editors seem to have simply put together a package that they could justify calling "teaching Chinese" without any thought to whether it would benefit a beginning student.

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of time, August 16, 2003
This text was used in a local community college class in
beginning Mandarin, and even the teacher was dissatisfied.
It seems not very clearly laid out, a phrase book with tiny
snippets of grammar that don't give enough background.

Have a look at Yong Ho's Beginner's Chinese, or the
Practical Chinese Reader (new or old editions) - you may
like them better.

This is a great tool if you are headed to Mainland China. If you plan on coming to Taiwan you need to find something with traditional characters. Read more

Although speaking four languages fluently, I did not make good progress in Mandarin learning by using this book.

The initial chapters feature complex dialogs. Read more
