Price problem

Price is too high. If they had summed 4 books together, this price would be reasonable. In this way one should purchase a new volume each week. There is also no pdf version with the audio book.

More for Beginners than Intermediate - Lacks Vocab

This lesson has good repetition to help lock in some vocabulary and grammar, but overall you won't learn that many words from the lessons so it's still very basic. The repetitiveness can be a bit of a bore to get through and there isn't a ton of creativity in the lessons, but it's functional and will help you learn basic sentence structure at least.

I love Pimsleur!

If you could sum up Chinese (Man) Phase 1, Unit 06-10 in three words, what would they be?

Concise
Thorough
Helpful

What was one of the most memorable moments of Chinese (Man) Phase 1, Unit 06-10?

One of my most memorable moments, personally, was when I found myself translating a particularly challenging sentence construction in English; and I was able to do it effortlessly. What a great feeling. Thanks, Pimsleur.

Effortless!

I never thought learning a new language could be so easy! Even something as seemingly complicated as Mandarin Chinese.
I'm now a firm believer of the Pimsleur system; it really works!
Simply repeat what you hear (aloud!) and answer the questions and before you know it you're able to carry on small conversations!
I am always looking forward to the next time I and pop in this book and learn more Chinese!

Pimsleur Is The Shit.....

Awesome way to begin learning a different language. Was able to say more complete sentences in a week than I was in a full semester of college.

way overpriced, but really excellent otherwise

If you look at my reviews you will see I have purchased other audiobooks to learn Mandarin. I actually learned from all of them. Pimsleur seems to take the most time to make sure you get sentence structure, order, how to pronounce most words, etc. There are still words that they say fast one or two times and don't take the time to go over slowly. I'm thinking of the word for Mr and Miss in Lesson 8. Still I listen to this as much as I can, every time I am in the car, etc. and it really does help a lot. It is though extremely overpriced.

Best oral Chinese course

No written which is a shame because hearing and speaking retention for me has been nothing short of a miracle. The quizzing helps a lot more than one would think!

An easy way to learn by listening and speaking.

A great way to learn in a very efficient manner by listening and speaking aloud.

Too Short

first off I would like to say that I do like the style of learning in these audiobooks. the problem is they are a bit too short for your money. they also don't do a very good job of explaining there are different words in Chinese for the same thing. I have learned from previous books and am finding a lot of words they use are different than the ones I have learned before. this is okay I expected it but it is not okay that they do not explain this to the listener. I feel like they could make these five hours and get a much better product out.

great in every language!

The lessons flow together logically and the conversational nature used makes remembering words much easier than traditional methods.
