Sure, the spirit may be willing, but the reality involved in teaching yourself Chinese is a little more complicated. The Chinese language is one that is produced by a variety of tones and sounds that are very unfamiliar to American speech patterns. The desire to speak Chinese, or to learn the Chinese language and writing style is an admirable endeavor for many. However, anyone wanting to learn how to speak Chinese Mandarin should be prepared to purchase a wide variety of books, CD-ROMs, and other formats that may help you along the way.

Chinese is currently the most popular language with over 1 billion people speaking it as their native language. Ling Ping is the creator of a learning program called Rocket Chinese where you can interactively learn Chinese from the comfort of your own home. There are many takes on the program, but here’s what to expect from it.

There’s also an audio learning game which is always helping you understand how Chinese is spoken and ther’s an active learners forum with Chinese native speakers and coaches.

Another good thing is that comes with a digital version which means you can access it immediately after you pay for it instead of having to wait for days for it to reach your home and they also offer a full money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the product.

The not so good thing is that there is a lot of material to cover so you must be committed and dedicated if you are going to learn Chinese and the course is a little cheap considering the material but you are getting a lot for what you pay for.
