Marvellous learning course!
What I like the most about this new language pack is that the speakers that recorded the audio speak slowly, not so to fall sleep, but not as fast as to leave you with the I-understood-bog-all feeling, just the right speed to get the feel for the so complicated tones.
I consider this language pack perfect for those who seek to go on holiday to Mandarin speaking countries, and those like me, curious about the Mandarin language and wishing to have a taste of it and who knows, maybe take it further in the future.
