Learn Mandarin on your computer. The better programs (and more expensive ones) have enough
flexibility and feedback to (almost) make up for not having a teacher.
It's very convenient to be able to boot up your computer any time and practice your Mandarin,
drill in vocabulary and take quizzes in grammar.
Simulated real-life situations let you hear the language in a life-like context.
Note: you can not return software to Amazon.com if you have opened the package.
