My Chinese Coach
This is one of the best Chinese (Mandarin) learning programs which I have come across and it is in a convenient format, as well.
The program is designed to start at a very basic level and after brief testing, you will be placed into the appropriate level. Each lesson gives the user several vocabulary words and several interactive ways of learning, from flashcards, hit-a-word, multiple choice, tones, and fading characters. Notes on culture are included intermittently. Users also have the opportunity to practice speaking and there is a feature to compare the user's speaking with that of a native speaker.
The program effectively reinforces learned material, while pairing it with new. The fading characters portion of the program is quite challenging, as it moves very fast, but once you start getting the hang of it, it is quite helpful. Some users have criticized the program for not including much Pinyin, (Romanized written alphabet/pronunciations), however, it serves the user well to learn pronunciations coupled with characters, as Pinyin is not used in China, except by children learning the language.
This is a great tool for kids, as well as adults. At $29 for over 1000 lessons, it is a bargain!
