My question is about the Chinese language, Mandarin, which is spoken there. I purchased a pocket book "Chinese Phrases for Dummies". It helped a little but its lacking a lot. I've heard about Rosetta Stone. I sent for a sample. I hope it works for me. . What do you think about Rosetta Stone? Has anyone used it? Has anyone found a better way to learn at home? It is suppose to have "voice recognition", to correct mispronunciation.

Hiring someone is an option that I will consider once I've learned more from my Chinese for Dummies hand book. I need to hear it and pronounce it properly or it could be misinterpreted with the high, low, and medium level of speaking the word.
