I have some bones to pick with the
Michelle Thomas Advanced Mandarin
Chinese course first of all it is not
Advanced I bought it out of curiosity
thank goodness it was secondhand because
the Michelle Thomas curse is incredibly
expensive it is not Advanced I'm
learning things like
um I'm going to school to study we can
go to the restaurant tonight I cannot go
like this is beginner stuff I don't know
what their beginner looks like but this
is not Advanced that's number one number
two is the courses set up in a way that
you have two non-native speakers one
guiding person and one native speaker
who does the audio and The Guiding
person constantly asks the non-native
speakers to say something and they make
so many mistakes and there are so many
tone mistakes that you might be learning
the wrong thing it's their way to make
you feel like you're in a classroom but
it's just not working for me
