 I didn't find it effective, still searching for the magic bullet... Jun 21, 2008
I listened to it while driving or on travel (i-pod) numerous times, but still couldn't get much going in speaking Chinese. It was OK, I picked up some sentences here and there, but overall 8 CD is not enough. Especially, the last 2 CDs are reviews and not so helpful.
The CDs were also bad quality. When copying to my i-pod, I got many errors.
I am going to try Pimsleur's Chinese. I really need a step by step, basic conversational CD. I had given this a try because it was much cheaper than Pimsluer, but perhaps you get what you paid for...

 Learn to speak Chinese Oct 18, 2007
This product was a good deal. It is fairly a complete package to obtain a comfortable level of fluency in Mandarin Chinese. It is more for those desiring to learn to speak the entire language than those who wish to learn a few phrases for a quick trip to China. Very good for those with long commutes.

Excellent Supplement May 16, 2007
The most important thing to remember when purchasing this pack is that these CDs are for beginners, NOT novice speakers. People who have had some training with Chinese in the classroom or self-study may be able to pick up and use this CD pack, but the information is presented too rapidly (and there is too much presented at once) to be good for initial acquisition.
I would give it 5 stars, but there is no clear advertising about this product. If I had some information about the rapid pace and the target audience, I probably would not have purchased this set. It will, however, be a useful set once I've mastered some basic phrases.

 Excellent! CD 1 and Beyond Jun 16, 2006
The 'good' doesn't stop with CD1. It's just beginning.
I notice no difference between the approach used in 'Behind the Wheel Chinese/Mandarin' and other Behind the Wheel courses I have used.
CD 2 and beyond evolve sentence building, tenses, expressions,
and tons of vocabulary that they teach you how to assemble.
Great course.

Good for listening comprehension and practice May 06, 2006
This audio set is very useful for getting an idea of how things are pronounced natively, and some slight variations on those pronunciations. However, it would not be a good idea to start here, as it relies heavily on memory. However, a good accompanying set to any books and courses.
Meant to be listened to, not to replace study while not driving.
