[quote=GRIZ326,327287]Pimsleur is good. If you have time to sit at a computer, Rosetta Stone and others like it are okay. However, even if you study hard it will be 3 years before you can really begin to communicate. Chinese is more complicated to learn than most other languages because: the characters have no phonetic value; written pinyin is not understood by older Chinese people; using a Chinese dictionary brings an entire new meaning to the child's complaint, "How do I look up a word if I do not know how to spell it?"; and tonal qualities in speaking are different words not merely inflection.[/quote]
