Negative Positive
Title: No Instruction
Review: This software is basically a series of exercises. I'm sure it's great if you are working in a classroom setting towards Chinese proficiency, but it's basically a $175 paper weight (and free headphone / microphone) if you don't already have a good basic knowledge of the chinese language.The exercises themselves seem pretty good -- nice layout, easy to understand, and generally pretty useful. The fatal flaw though remains the lack of instruction. The software functions much more effectively as a series of quizzes than as a tool to improve one's ability.For the record, I speak three languages fluently. If I may be so bold, I don't think that it's operator error.
Is the review positive or negative?
