It is the language often used in the world of art, theatrical work and literature: a language of pleasure and passion, which expresses, word after word, moods and emotions. A language that gives happiness.

Story
I know you are wondering: isn’t Spanish so difficult to learn? To answer your question, the truth is that Spanish isn’t such a hard language to master; you perhaps may already know a few Spanish words like gracias [thank you], amor [love], hola [hello], felicidad [happiness], and adiós [goodbye]! Obviously, these are not all the words in Spanish, but I believe you get the point; if you can learn many Spanish words and phrases that you can use in everyday situations, you would undoubtedly be able to converse in Spanish even if you may not understand all the grammar rules!
Summary
While in school, we learned stuff we probably don’t use today. However, language is essential to almost every aspect of the human condition. How do you expand your business beyond your continent for more sales? How are you going to express your love for the beautiful lady who just walked past? How do you get directions to the magnificent Great Wall? With the knowledge of language, that’s how.
This book contains a lexicon of some of the most commonly used words in everyday Chinese conversation. It makes use of the age-old learning techniques of repetition and rote memorization to condition the brain for learning Chinese as quickly as possible. In addition, an auxiliary feature called story mode has been included to aid the listener in a test for comprehension. Finally, it should be noted that while this book will aid in a visual recognition and comprehension of words in the Chinese language, students must also understand their proper pronunciations. To help with this, an accompanying audiobook is also available to enable listening lessons.
And so, from the beautiful city of Beijing, the city of love and all things fashionable, we present to you, The Simple Way to Learn Chinese.

Multiple problems, fake reviews plague this entry
I picked up this audiobook because it was the highest-rated result for "Learn Chinese" on Audible. Having spent some time with it now, I'm incredibly disappointed.
First, the narration is reversed of what makes sense for teaching an English speaker Chinese. All text is said in Chinese first, then the English translation is read after. I can't tell you how many times I heard an English sentence and thought, "Oh, I'd love to know how to say that in Chinese," but it's already been said and gone. You basically have to memorize the Chinese first to learn anything.
The narrator, Tim-Wan Tam, speaks a dialect of Chinese other than Beijing/Standard Chinese, which as a fresh learner, took me hours of listening to even understand was what was happening (he pronounces 是 as "si", 谁 as "sei", etc.). If you're trying to learn Standard Chinese, I would have to recommend a different book. Maybe this would be useful as a dialectical exercise, but the aforementioned reversal of the Chinese/English sentences will still be a problem.
Then there's the fact that Tim-Wan Tam's English, while perhaps OK for carrying on a conversation with him in person, is not good enough (in my opinion) to be teaching people. In another "took me hours of listening to realize it" issue, he makes many mistakes, like pronouncing the past tense of "read" as "reed", and not "red." If you don't realize he's using the Chinese past tense of 读了, you may not even realize it's an issue. I didn't realize it was happening until my learning on Duolingo caught up to my listening in this book.
Further, there are times where his English pronunciation is so poor, I genuinely don't know what he's saying. It's not super common for this to happen, but for example, there's a bit in the Story Mode for Chapter Four where he says "Most clothes have similar [xx] in our shop," and I have no idea what [xx] is supposed to be. I had a friend listen to it, and he can't figure it out either. This is supposed to be the English translation (i.e., the part I *should* understand). This is a problem if you're trying to teach someone a language.
When I came back to this book to start my review, I looked at the existing reviews again. For a book that came out in December of 2018, there was a sudden rush of seven all-5-star reviews in late May of 2020, a year and a half after the book was published. All of these reviews provide no specifics and extremely general (but glowing) praise for the book, then nobody reviewed it again until August of 2020, again in a rush of 13 glowing, but utterly lacking in specifics, reviews. Ace Carr's review titled "Perfectly" includes the sentence "She explains and teaches things perfectly." This book is narrated by a male.
Suffice to say, these reviews are incredibly fishy. I'm not sure the book is so bad it deserves 1 stars, as I have rated it, but I've given it all-1-stars for two reasons: 1. I'm fighting a rush of obviously fake/paid reviews, and I need to balance them out so someone doesn't end up here and get duped into buying the book like I did, and 2. Because I know how *I* look for reviews when I'm looking to purchase a book. Essentially, it's thumbs up or thumbs down. I note the number of positive reviews, then immediately sort by 1-star reviews to get the "real" info about the product. If you're reading this review now, I feel like I did my job.
If I had the text version of this book, I might not be so disappointed, but in just having the audio, I have to recommend you stay far away from this one.
