Would you try another book from Mark Frobose and/or Mark Frobose?
I do not think I would try another book by Mr. Frobose.Would you be willing to try another book from Mark Frobose? Why or why not?
Possibly try, if it were free.What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
I thought the pacing was fine, as was the male narrator. The female narrator's voice was such a distraction and phony. Voiceovers should be completed by professionals. This woman sounded like the author was doing a friend a favor and having her on the audiobook.The sequence of information was not logical, and the repeated patterns from chapter to chapter needed more direct application.Did Power Mandarin Accelerated inspire you to do anything?
It inspired me to look at other language learning systems.Any additional comments?
You might be able to spend your credit on something a little more logical and user friendly.It's Just So, So

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would definitely recommend Power Mandarin Accelerated because it's fast, it's amazingly easy, it's enjoyable and really effective.My boyfriend's family is from China and I have struggled with Pimsleur (too few words to really communicate) Rosetta Stone (cost a fortune and makes me guess) and other methods.
None of them gave me the portable audio, the English speaking instructor and the native Mandarin speaker who taught me how to create my own sentences - I mean - speak my own thoughts in basic Mandarin in a way that Chinese people understand and without one bit of confusion.
What did you like best about this story?
What I like best about Power Mandarin is the speed, the simplicity of it all, the creative way the program is laid out, the memory review, the Audio Snapshot previews, the opportunity to hear the language spoken at different speeds, adding one word here and one word there to avoid overwhelm. Love it!Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scene is where I get to say I want to eat. I love Chinese food. I noticed that this program uses real Mandarin Chinese, because they usually say the word for "eat" followed by the word for "food" or "noodles". This made me sound really fluent even when I wasn't.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No way would I recommend using Power Mandarin all in one sitting. This program is meant to be used whenever you have time and wherever you happen to be at the moment. The extreme portability of Power Mandarin is one reason I wanted to try it out, and for $19.00 bucks, it's a real gem.Any additional comments?
Real instruction, real practice, real results. There's no BS here people. This program is the real deal and you'll thank me for recommending it to you.Amazing. This Course Makes Speaking Mandarin Easy

Any additional comments?
I have learned to speak several languages in a basic way, mostly French and Spanish, and I never dreamed how hard Mandarin Chinese would be to speak. They have TONES and they don’t have easy cognates (similar words) to borrow from like in Spanish and French. Then there is a weird pronunciation with the tones. I tried many programs learned next to nothing and found Mandarin Chinese impossible to learn for years.Then I tried Power Mandarin by Mark Frobose. Mark explained everything in English and then his slow speaking native Chinese speaker gave me the clear, slow repetitions that I needed to hear the difference between the tones, and then to actually pronounce the tones clearly. Then they helped me constantly remember what I learned with each lesson. My ability to speak and remember Mandarin exploded at that point.
Then I learned how put it all together to make and speak my own original sentences in Mandarin (I admit that these are basic sentences, but come on, what do you expect? – Besides, I only want basic conversation in Mandarin)
The natives I speak with at work understand everything I say and I understand them many times too.
Frobose is a language teaching genius that makes an impossible language like Mandarin easy to learn. Power Mandarin is a must buy, a first buy if you want to speak Mandarin Chinese.

Would you listen to Power Mandarin Accelerated again? Why?
I may listen to parts of it again to remember the vocabularyAny additional comments?
This was kind of like a condensed version of Pimsleur Chinese Level 1 (lessons 1-30). I think for someone who already understands about the tones of Mandarin and has a good ear to practice, it's fine. It is meant for beginners but absolute beginners may have to listen several times to each part. The repetition was enough without being boring for me. I don't regret listening, but after doing Pimsleur Level 1, it's kind of unnecessary, so I advise choosing one or the other. This teaches pronouns, numbers, some short sentences to get the layout of basic grammar with your first verbs, and a few measure/counting words. It does not include conversations to listen to.Helpful for someone with a baseline knowledge

Any additional comments?
The speakers in this program are so spontaneous and amusing that I found myself actually “enjoying the process” of learning to speak Mandarin.Don’t be fooled by the amusing side of this program. Power Mandarin is a serious language course that requires work and effort on your part. But if you try (and you will enjoy it, believe me) I believe you will learn like I did.
Bottom Line: A very difficult and daunting language made fun and relatively easy by Mark and his degreed native speaker from China. Great value for the money. Got me speaking and understanding basic Mandarin, which was not easy to do, though his “process” makes it far easier than the other programs I have tried.
