Communicate in Chinese 2 (1 Book and 3 DVDs)
Date Added: 08/16/2017 by Hans BUIJS
the dialogues are useful. In the text they are given in pinyin and characters. the videos are tediously very very redundant - lots of repetition from lesson to lesson. When spoken in Chinese the subtitles are in characters which is bizarre as learners have no idea what they mean - and at the same time can not follow what is being said in Chinese. the books break along the spine easily. I had No1 spiral bound soon after purchase - and did 2, 3, and four at the same time. Roswell is certainly fluent in Chinese - in the 6+ years I lived in China I found lots of people who were. But I do not find him particularly entertaining. I would buy the books again because at the price I paid for them - but not the price listed online. By the way, get yourself Pleco - it's the bests money you'll every spend if you're serious about learning Mandarin. good luck, Hans...
