 Rating: - Good Course But You Need to Know This .....Power Chinese is good, but you need to know that with it you will not be able to create your own original sentence in Mandarin. For this reason I suggest you take Amazon's recommendation of 'Better Together' and order this along with Behind the Wheel Chinese (Mandarin), Level 1: Learn to Speak Mandarin Chinese Quickly and Easily!

You click on a shivery little button (the buttons jiggle until you click on them), and read some humorously phrased piece of information. Each page is like an adventure game where you click on things and learn some surprising new fact. Plus the material is very clearly and logically presented - in addition to being entertaining.
