To give you some back ground, I have about 8 month prior Mandarin Chinese experience, using apps, flashcards various DIY methods.
How I wish I began with this, I didn't have to worry about tones, despite the fact the best explaination I have learned relating to them is actually from this! I didn't have to worry about reading Pinyin and Hanzi (Chinese script).
This way of learning was so natural, almost like being a baby, you learn to speak before you can read. This gave me a lot confidence in speaking the little Chinese I do know. Which is slightly more then what you will learn in this audiobook due to my right months prior learning.
By the end of the book you while no how to say:
你好,我想点咕噜肉,一个菜包子和茉莉花茶。
You will regardless of skill level by the end of book, be constructing such long sentences and it's not just about food, you will learn to say where you are going, what you are doing, if you are driving, if you are allowed, skilled or capable of various different things. It's quite rigid but amazing with this system you will be well on your way. This would have made all my prior learning easier. I did this in the space of just over 1 month and am now looking forward to the sequel! 再见朋友。

There does appear to be some errors within the audio book though. For instance, at times, instead of the female and male local speakers repeating the word, you'll only get the female repeating it twice. Also, chapters 97 & 98 appear back to front when he introduces the different ways of saying can.
Nonetheless, it's a really good way of learning a language I never thought I'd understand. I feel it could have sections where he asks what the native speakers are asking but it's still an enjoyable course to follow. The hardest part in learning this is if you use one phrase the locals think you're fluent and either speak too fast or use phrases you don't know. it's all part of the experience. Happy travels!
Very useful

the iterative nature really helps you to understand the sentence formatting and really helps to construct sentences quicker.
I was however disappointed that the second speaker slowed down about a third of the way through. I was really enjoying having a more naturally spoken example to each sentence because you can hear the differences between slow and fast and even helps you speak faster! for that I can only give this book 4 stars, otherwise it is a fantasic learning guide
great resource for beginners and those above
