love it

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...

Everything all right!

The price is nice but no English translation.

The price is nice but no English translation is provided, which is not useful for non-native speakers....

There is an error in the second example about the cake!!! And it's not a typo!

the dictionary is Suitable for me.it is very good.

thank you very much!

This book is fantastic resource to prepare for an HSK exam. It is well-structured and thorough. I would recommend buying this book instead of plain mock tests as the analysis facilitates comprehension of what is required from a test taker.

It would be great if a similar and separate book on HSK Common Mistakes is written by the authors. Nevertheless, I believe that if I study for an HSK exam using this book, I will be more confident in Chinese and will pass the test as a bonus.

A big thank you to the authors, publisher, Purple Culture and all involved. Great resource for the good price. Delivery is still expensive, though :-)...
