I almost gave this four stars because 1. it lacks zhuyin entries, 2. there are a few typos/goofs and 3. it lacks enough pinyin learning tools. The overall strength and affordable price of this product make it deserve 4.5 stars without question, so I rounded up.
[Update 5/13/14: I had to come back and drop my rating down to a 4 star, which I have never done in my many years of Amazon purchases. The typos with the tone marks are increasing as I progress through the materials. Moreover, the end of chapter 5 quiz has vocabulary and grammar questions which are not introduced until chapters 6 and 7! Boo. I know how easy it is to make this kind of mistake as a classroom teacher, but that is why curriculum designers get paid so much more than teachers do. It is very frustrating for me as a learner when I come across questions that I am unable to answer even after going back and scouring the whole first half of the book!
Also, the website seems to have some issues where activities won't load properly on some of the chapters.]
I am a language teacher. I teach English to international students at an American university. I've seen more than my share of language learning materials through work and through my hobby of studying foreign languages. The Living Language set is really great! The online resources, CDs and multi-level books are very well designed.
My boyfriend is from Taiwan and I'm American. His parents don't speak English, so I'm learning Chinese to be able to communicate with them. Speaking and listening are more of my focus, but I still want to learn to read and write. Having studied Japanese before, I'm pleasantly surprised how much easier reading and writing is in Chinese!
