Brought it with me to Taiwan. Friends there could not understand the pronunciation from the dictionary. Plus, the words used in the software are not common. Their opinion – “If you use those words people will figure out what you mean, but they don’t speak that way.” Also, the two voices saying the words were pronouncing some words differently from each other. However, having the audio pronunciation guide is essential compared to a written phonetic one because of the tonal system.

It is a decent product. I arrived in Taipei a few weeks ago and it helped me learn the basics: numbers, hello, thank you, etc. However, the games are tame and the accents are more geared for mainland China. It is not a substitute for an actual class but it is a good place to start before your plane leaves.

This program is pretty darn cool. I got this for my 11 year old son who will be starting Mandarin at school in a few weeks. He played with this for the first time last night and in about 30 minutes could count from 1-20 in Chinese. You connect a headset with microphone to the laptop and the program records your voice as you repeat the lessons. You can then listen back to your voice and compare it to the instructor voice. This is critical since intonation is so important in the Mandarin language. There are quite a few games too that make learning fun.
