- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2023The headline says it all. I chose standard shipping. Very satisfied
- Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2012I did not need this for the class I took but bought it anyway. It has some great exercises for practicing what you learn from the textbook. Even if you don't need it for assigned homework, Chinese is best learned if you apply some extra practice and this book can help you guide yourself in that area.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2013It's a book, there isn't much that can be wrong with it. I have the first manual, so I knew what to expect from this one. If you like part 1, you'll like part 2.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2012The two activities manuals are indispensable companions to the main books, but of course they are not standalone books....
Only criticism I'd make is the pinyin exercises which are done with the CD, which one cannot find easily, so half of the lessons are blank in my case....I even wonder if this section could be just left out of the activity book and integrated to the main book by including a CD with it, avoiding to buy the CD separately, when one can find it.... Personnaly I'd leave the activity book exclusively for character and phrase structure learning.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2016Complete waste of money if your Instructor doesn't require it. Hard to follow along without also having access to the audio. I returned this.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2014My daughter's tutor uses this series in college. It has been a great tool for my daughter to learn this very complex language.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2017Exactly what I needed for my Chinese 101 class.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2013My daughter was happy with the quick shipment of the book she needed for her Mandarin class at college. Thanks.
