Excellent
Very good for beginners. It’s repetitive, but does a good job to drill the basics.

The repetition is what makes this course work.
After 15 hrs listening to this, I've heard the Chinese words for special fried rice about 700 times, and mobile phone like 500 times. But the magic is in the repetition. I do think some kind of supplemental tone training or coaching is required as there's not enough there to help you work out the pronunciations. It also doesn't help that the two speakers have slightly different accents (the male always ends the 3rd tone low, where as the lady does the down-up dip among other things) so you never quite really know if you're on tone or not. You also have to be able to mimic sounds really well. I've heard others try to follow this course and they can't hear the difference between what they are saying and what the native speakers are saying. There's a PDF that comes with the course but I didn't find it too useful / helpful except if I wanted to start getting more serious with the writing.
Having said all of the above, this is by far the best audio "course" I've taken. Well structured, and the repetition burns some of the tones into your head so you can't forget how to pronounce the words. You won't actually be too conversational as the material lacks some basic phrases, but it covers a lot of grammatical structure which is still useful.

Highly recommended!!
Easy to learn with great instructional techniques makes it a lot easier than other programs I have tried.. I slowed down the playback to .75 speed to really absorb the lessons and found that helped a lot as the native speakers do tend to speak a bit fast at times. Can put sentences together now!

A must-have for Mandarin beginning learners
I strongly recommend this audiobook if you wish to learn the bases of Mandarin, I was a skeptic at first with the audiobook format, painting myself to be more of a visual learner, but the way the author teaches the language progressively and adding repetitions along the way to recall what you previously learnt really works well. I only wish there was a second audiobook taking from where this one left!
