This is one of the worst books I’ve ever used. The sentences were direct translations from English to “Chinese.” I say “Chinese” in quotation marks because it was annoyingly bizarre at times. Sometimes it was a mixture of written Chinese and spoken Chinese, and sometimes it used bizarre wording that would only be used in English. Very unnatural. For example 看起來 was never used but instead 看上去兒. And the word 及 was used A LOT… No one uses that word in spoken Chinese. It’s more of a written word. Lots of the words that are used in these conversations will make you look like a fool in places like Taiwan. The book says social media is 社交媒體, but I used this word in a conversation I was having with a friend, and he said that that’s not how it’s said in Taiwan. 社群媒體 is the correct term. Now to the audio. The speakers in the audio have really heavy Mainland Chinese accents. If you’ve studied Chinese before then you will know exactly what I’m talking about. Lots of random 兒s scattered here and there. 聊天兒 / 有趣兒 / 哪兒 / 甜心兒 etc. It’s so annoying! No one wants to learn to speak Chinese with an accent that makes you sound like you’ve a hard boiled egg in your mouth when you speak. I’m only hitting the tip of the iceberg with my complaints. I could most definitely go on. Honestly, I don’t want to waste my time. If you’re going to buy Chinese learning materials, make sure they come from Taiwan. You’ll be much happier with the quality. Trust me.

Taiwanese Mandarin is the way to go.

Mainland China Mandarin is really too harsh to the ear. The Mandarin spoken in Taiwan is pleasant and friendly. I reccomend this as a great language learning tool.
