Tell Me More Chinese review

By Gerrit du Plessis

Tell Me More Chinese's low score came as a real surprise to me, because Tell Me More frequently produces language software that is, if anything, TOO comprehensive for the typical user.

This Chinese language course, therefore, is disappointing. At $299, it only includes 3 CDs and a fraction of the amount of instruction offered by the other programs I've reviewed. Most disturbingly, however, the method of instruction is difficult to follow, and the choice of vocabulary words is not useful in the least.

Tell Me More Chinese offers a method of analyzing the student's own speech to ensure he or she is pronouncing words correctly, and it also provides reading opportunities using both traditional Chinese characters and pinyin. But it's not enjoyable to use, and it's difficult to imagine any student sticking with it.

I recommend you give Rocket Chinese a try if you are looking for a fun and proven way to learn Mandarin Chinese fast.
