I think the chinese number's are easier than English or German . These should be no problem for anybody . Learning the character's for number's is equally as simple , ones practised enough .
This is a great course , sound-wise but it should show the pinying and character's with it , so to recognize them when seeing them in real life .
This is why it's not that great to have a CD playing in the Car , when you can not have the Book with you to look up what's being say'd at the same time . This is why I think it takes all three together ( sound , pinying , character's ) to really learn it right .
When Qing sends me a chinese sentence it alway's includes only the written and the character's , but no sound . So with my next call we double check to see if I got it right or she will correct me as necessary , til my brain has it locked in . The rest is up to me to practise it whenever I have the time , sound , pinying and character's . I know it is not easy and pretty much only my Sweetheart understands me as of now . Hehehe . But it's a start ... that most likely will never finish .
