Growing in popularity among Pimsleur courses is Pimsleur Chinese (an introductory note about the Pimsleur Method is given below). You can get the Comprehensive Chinese courses for Cantonese or Mandarin. Each Level I course contains 16 hours of instruction in 30 lessons. They are designed to provide native-like pronunciation, basic survival skills, and phrases for travel and courtesy. Each retails for about $345.00 US on CD, though discounts are available. The price for the same Chinese courses on BookChip is $160 each. Copies can also be found occasionally on eBay and other auction sites. They retain their price well, especially the courses bought new on CD or Book Chip. The Chinese courses on cassette are relatively cheap at auction, if you can find them. Pimsleur offers only the Level I Chinese comprehensive course in Cantonese. Mandarin courses continue to Levels II and III and can be bought in sets at a reduced price. The Pimsleur Chinese courses, in all their forms of media, are available from PimsleurDirect.com. All the same materials are also available from CheapPimsleur.com at substantially reduced prices in most cases. They offer the $345 Chinese (Mandarin) courses on CD, for example, for $154 recently. The set of three Comprehensive Mandarin courses on BookChip retails for $440 at PimsleurDirect and for $389 at CheapPimsleur. Both come with the Audiofy Player.
