Learning The Mandarin Language

I found an article in a magazine while at the dentist office. The article was for language lessons. So I wrote down the internet address and went on it when I got home. Before I new it I found myself ordering the CD rom for learning the Mandarin language. It should be here within the next few weeks. The article stated that the CD rom will teach you how to speak the Mandarin language using voice recognition. It compares how you pronounce the words to actual Mandarin speaking people. It also teaches you how to write in the Mandarin language. Teaches you how to ask key questions. For example - Where can I find the bathroom? How much does this cost? Can yah tell I'm a little excited about it. I'll let everyone know if the CD rom is worth purchasing. If anyone is interested in looking into it the address for the web site is www.rosettastone.com.
