terrible!

terrible! don't buy. no guide material to help make it easier to understand... really regretted buying this

Awesome

- It works.
- Listening to it enough times, it will allow you form sentences and enhance listening comprehension.
- I recommend that you also study grammar at the same time because without some grammar background, it will just be words, and you wont understand why things are spoken the way they are.

inacurate

this program gives you phrases but does not tell you the literal meanings of the words. For example they say the Chinese word for Hi is Nee How. Which really means You Well. I find it difficult to truly lean the language by parroting phrases and not really knowing exactly what they are saying, how can you take this to another level if you don't really know what you said. So for me this method is a one star.

8 hours for 1 credit , pretty useful vocab

I started out with Pimsleur and saw this for 1 credit an was totally satisfied , pretty simple really , listen and repeat , and they do a little review once and a while , very high frequency vocab so useful in my opinion.
