I drive a lot, so learning or listening to things while I'm driving is very good use of my time. This series is primarily for travelers. If you want conversation, this is NOT for you! It barely covers "hi", "thank you", etc.) before it jumps into how to ask where the train station is, or which hotel, etc.
The booklet may be helpful, but you are listening to this CD in your car, the booklet is useless, as it's dangerous to read and drive at the same time. So, what is the point (of it in a "Learn In Your Car" series)?!

I'm trying to teach myself Chinese. Learn Chinese in Your Car is a nice tool to help with vocabulary. Using the 30-minute commute times that I have to-and-from school/work, I figured it'd be productive to try building my Chinese vocabulary. This looked like a good buy, and so far, I've been very satisfied.
Don't buy this thinking it's a be-all-end-all "learn Chinese NOW" course. It's very incomplete as far as sentence structure or grammar. I recommend thins along with Beginner's Chinese by Yong Ho and Reading and Writing Chinese (Simplified Character Edition) by William McNaughton to anyone trying to teach themselves this language.

I have used Level one for a year and Level two for six months and have found them to be excellent. The language is clear and sequential, often recycled, with ample pauses for repetition, and the compact guide book is well done, too. (I have been an ESL teacher for 28 years and speak fluent Japanese, so I know a little about language learning.) I don't know how this series would be in isolation since I study Chinese twice a week with a native speaker and focus only on conversation, as do the CDs obviously. Also, I have not tried other "In your car" Cds. One thing for sure, when I am going from point A to point B in my car, it is not time wasted; these CDs help me greatly to learn a difficult but important language. I am more than satisfied with my purchase and look forward to Level three.

I was quite excited to begin learning Mandarin in my car, however, I quickly realized this technique was not one for me. If you cannot learn without some sort of visuals, then this method is also not for you. While the words were clearly stated, I had a horrible time trying to retain anything. Also, as I did not intend on traveling to China any time soon, asking for directions to the bathroom or how to change over my money seemed irrelevant.

Learn in Your Car Chinese is a good basic course but it has several major defects.
What bothers me about the course is the obvious lack of sentence building techniques.
It is not bad with vocabulary and 'canned sentence' learning.
I must recommend you try Behind the Wheel Chinese in addition to or in lieu of Learn in Your Car Chinese.
The presentation is far better, you learn to speak your own sentences and you get a lot more vocabulary for the money.
