Great reference book to learn Chinese. Tons of words and phrases packaged nicely. I have been learning Chinese for 3 years and this book still helps me.

Excellent

What did you love best about Learn in Your Car: Mandarin Chinese, Complete?

Great way to get right to work without all of the non Chinese dialogue.

'Ge Xibanya haizi

Good for it's purpose, listened while driving and enjoyed listening and repeating some of the phrases and vocabulary. Found the speech to be well layed out, enough for it to not be distracting or intrusive while on the wheel. Recommended for the active people who want to be productive and learn a language simultaneously while driving or doing some other activities.

The place to start learning Mandarin

If you could sum up Learn in Your Car: Mandarin Chinese, Complete in three words, what would they be?

Practical, clear, useful

What was one of the most memorable moments of Learn in Your Car: Mandarin Chinese, Complete?

I can listen and learn without the PDF download, but the manual is excellent and makes the material clear, helping with pronunciation and Chinese characters.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite part of this program is having the concrete manual available.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I find a half hour is good time, and I repeat the lessons over and over.

Any additional comments?

Without this program I would not be able to grasp what the more touted Pimsler program was trying to teach. I use the Pimsler to supplement what I am learning in the Learn in Your Car program, and in fact, find the Pimsler easier to use in the car, since I want to have the PDF manual to refer to when I am listening to the Learn in Your Car Chinese.

Wow

To the point and easy to fallow. I was very surprised at how much I learned.

Wrong words, improper pronunciation.

This book is older than dirt. The phrases used are not common phrases, & my Chinese friend tells me these were used back in the 50’s & 60’s. So update your book, and hire an actual Chinese speaker to get the correct pronunciation.

no good

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

It is not an effective way to learn a language. I'm not a fan of memorizing vocab, word after word, without any sentence structure. I fluently speak 3 languages. I won't have the patience to learn my 4th through this book. Presenting the words in context would be more helpful
