I was skeptical when I bought this, but it really is effective and a lot of fun. The kids (amazingly) listen with me on the 25 minute school run and we're picking up words and useful phrases. Mum/Wife is Chinese so we have good reason to make the effort, but with this program, very little effort is needed. Just bought Vol. 2 and looking forward to next levels.

"great method"

I got this book after a first educational stint with my mother in law (who speaks only mandarin and mongol). I liked the method a lot and found that indeed remembering new words is much easier than traditional methods. The content is quite basic, but enough for a solid beginning. I liked a lot too the voice of the Chinese girl in the recording. After advancing a bit I got the Spanish method for my wife (Spanish is my mother language) and I'm surprised by how much has she advanced in a few weeks. It is worth the bucks, I'm waiting for the second volume. Watch out for the printed version in both Chinese characters and English, which also helps a lot, you can get it from their website.
