 Integrated Chinese Level 1 cd'sMay 12, 2007
By Doreen Gala-Hebert
"Sichuan Mom"
The cd's are good but the speakers tend to speak fast. It's hard when starting to keep up. They include everything they say they have in the books.

 May be necessary companion to the textbookJan 01, 2007
By B. Blubaugh
...but quality is very poor. Volume of the speakers fluctuates, sound quality is very poor, and the occasional vocabulary word being read by a different speaker lead to my dissappointment. It is far too expensive considering these quality flaws. But, this CD is necessary if you are using the Integrated Chinese textbook to study on your own, as it will provide the proper pronounciation using the words and dialogues in the textbook (the textbook itself is excellent). There are home-made podcasts for Chinese language students that are far better quality...and free.

 Audio is kind of badMar 01, 2007

"Learning"
The audio is choppy and sometimes hard to understand. Speakers sometimes speak fast on all speeds whether slow, regular, or fast. Also speakers have different accents and makes for inconsistent pronunciation.

required for classOct 20, 2007
By fmc
if you don't need to buy this, don't. it'd be much nicer to have an interactive graphical and audio tool. it's hard to follow and not friendly for learning in this format. also the speakers tend to speak with a more neutralish tone.

 Terrible Quality!Apr 22, 2008
By Rudy
The sound quality of these CDs is terrible. There's a lot of hiss, and the voices are muffled. I can't beleive they're selling these to the public! If you have to get these discs for class - there are many sources on the Internet where you can get the material on these discs for free.
