Pimsleur is good for getting your feet wet but it’s also lacking in that it only teaches you a few conversation topics. It stresses pronounciation of words and making your tones match the speakers on the disc, but tells you nothing about the four tones of Chinese (found that out the hard way). It also does not go much into sentence construction, only forming a pre-meditated sentence.
I give it 4 stars because as a beginner with no prior experience in Mandarin, it let me get a grasp of what I would be studying in more in-depth lessons. So if you know absolutely –nothing– about Mandarin then I recommend Pimsleur.
P.S. Don’t get the four disc version. The eight disc-er has the first four and nothing’s different.
