Behind the Wheel Chinese (Mandarin) 8 One Hour Audiocassette Tapes

Summary: Fast and Easy to Learn
Review: I bought Behind the Wheel Chinese two weeks ago and am delighted with the results I am getting.
Mandarin can be diifficult because of the accent and the tones. This course makes learning to speak Mandarin easy because the two native speakers (one male and one female) go to great lengths to prounouce everthing slowly first and then at a regular pace.
I LOVE the sentence building techniques. I learned how to say 'I want to eat' within the first half hour session. The tone of the words convey meaning, and I am well on my way to speaking this language.
The folks at our local Chinese restaurant can't believe what I can say to them in Chinese in such a short time and frankly, I can't either.
This course is a 'must buy' if you want a fast and very easy way to learn a very difficult language and enjoy the process.

Summary: Great course
Review: This is exactly what you think it is. An audio CD course for learning Chinese while driving. This course builds your listening skills as well, because the the English phrase spoken by the English speaker is repeated at least twice by the Mandarin speaker, in Mandarin. So not only do you get to learn vocabulary, your listening and speaking skills get exercised as well.

If you are serious about learning Mandarin, you won't be disappointed by this audio book.
