I don't particularly care for language tapes. I get nothing out of them. I've used Power Chinese, on my laptop, which I found to be very educational, and am now using Rosetta Stone, which I think is a good product. So far...Experienced Community organizer.

Forget learning new languages, man. I would rather spend my time building a time machine and going back to teach my young self different languages. But then when I come back I might have a German or Mexican wife. Who knows.Becoming what I've dreamed about.

i've used the cantonese one and found it really simple to learn. They get a little repetitive but that's useful in learning. To be fair I only got to lesson 10 as then got a little lazy but I will finish them one day. Also got the mandarin one too but not even started that but I guess it's more of the same teching stlye and therefore I'd reccomend. They are especially good for listening to on route to somewhere like on the tube or in the car where a computer program is less usable. End of the day; a combination of tools and exposure to the language are going to be the best way of learning.

I'd recommend them. I have the pimsleur mandarin and when I had the time to use it, I found it very rewarding. And 40 bucks is not very expensive, not for what you could really pay to learn a language."For some reason I'm in a good mood today. I haven't left the house yet, though. "
