  • "Great Intro but what next?"

    Overall

    Story

    This is a fantastic introduction to Mandarin Chinese but it is only the first two hours of an eight hour course.



    At the time of writing Audible are trying to get the other six hours in their library but as yet that is not the case which is a shame as these first two hours had me hooked.



    The only current alternative is to purchase the full and more costly Mandarin course CD's direct from Michel Thomas. Hopefully this changes soon..

    The Michel Thomas Method teaches everyday conversational language that will allow you to communicate in a wide variety of situations, empowered by the ability to create your own sentences and use the language instinctively, having absorbed the vocabulary and grammatical structures. These all-audio courses were perfected over 25 years by gifted linguist and teacher Michel Thomas, and provide an accelerated method for language learning that is truly revolutionary.

    Story

    I found following along with the teacher and students really easy.

    There was just enough time for me to answer or speak the Madarin prior to the student answering in the audiobook meant I did not always have to hit the pause button.

    Not sure if this is for you? Audible have a free sample to try.

    BTW a bit obvious but there is no story hence the low rating for story!

    Since others judge you by the way you speak, the intricacies of grammar, in fact, should not be relegated to the realm of fussy "guardians of the language," but are rather essential clues all can employ to communicate more exactly. In such a light, this course forms an invaluable guide for everyone from all fields of interest.
