for quick refreshing on basic studies

Not bad for beginners, but a little too redundant compared to Mark's other titles. It spends too much time repeating numbers and basic vocabulary without the right contextual dialog to keep your attention and form solid applicable memorization (meaning it's easier to memorize something in a story type context and this program jumps around a little too much to give you those connections). This is a good introductory program for quick refreshing on your studies if you use it as a compliment to another basic program. Mark's Accelerated Language Program is my favorite, and his Sentence Magic is the other that i constantly use as an intermediate student. Mark Frobose's programs are efficient for intermediate levels but Bite Sized Chinese was just too basic and redundant, and i just breezed through the whole thing in barely over an hour and learned very little. Pimsluer is very good for beginners as each lesson spends an appropriate 30-45 minutes teaching realistic dialog, and Mark Frobose is good for faster, more engaging study and thus works well for medium level speakers, and the accelerated and sentence magic are both really good at that, and will also work for beginners too. Beginners might just find themselves repeating sections more to memorize them.

Really Effective!

This was the third audio book I’ve tried and have found it to be the most effective so far (the first two were by other authors). It repeats and breaks things down so you can get it down to memory, and has useful phrases for communicating. I even had a coworker who is a native mandarin speaker comment that my pronunciation was pretty good! I’m looking forward to trying the other audio books by Mark Frobose, due to his effective and user friendly language instruction methods! My only suggestion is that he make more “bite sized” audio books for mandarin at higher levels! Though I have yet to try the sentence magic and advanced mandarin audio books...

Learned so much!

I'm biracial, my dad is white and my mom is Taiwanese. Hearing my Mom's family rattle off Chinese while I didn't get it finally got to me. This aodiobook has gotten me so far! I still have far to go, but this has been a great beginning!

Works Well

I use it in addition to Pimsleur. I likes these little Chinese programs by Mark Frobose because they are similar to the concept of Pimsleur. Also, I like them because the repetition is much faster than with Pimsleur, however, both programs are great tools to learn Mandarin fast and efficiently. You will actually remember what you study after listening and repeating it several times.
