Title: An excellent program
Product review: Preparing for a trip to China, I have found this program to be very helpful. The DVD ROM is well-organized, has enough repetition to be useful, but not so much as to be monotonous. The teacher, Sonya, is enjoyable, and the approach to teaching Mandarin by using practical scenarios keeps the interest up. On the other hand, I found the CD to be quite redundant, (the words for I, you and he/she/it were reviewed ad nauseum) and it could have included a lot more grammar. I was disappointed the supplementary podcasts were not available, but I understand they soon will be. So, for anyone looking to learn conversational Mandarin, I would wholeheartedly recommend this program.
