Very helpful but useful if you can use a written version of the text too to help with pronunciation. Repetition in each unit seems to help

At first I thought the order it taught things in was odd. But after a trip to China...the order is exactly the order you need! Very well researched and put together. A great piece of work.

So we'll put together!

A very easy way to start picking up Chinese. Follow along and speak with the narrator. They build up you sentences and vocabulary slowly at a pace you can keep up with. (Mostly)

Great intro into Chinese learning
