It's ok - but try to ignore the learner's voice

What did you love best about Rapid Cantonese, Volume 1?

It teaches you some useful phrases in Cantonese in a short space of time. The music makes it less arduous than the Pimsleur method, however you obviously learn more with the latter (especially as there's only one unit of Rapid Cantonese!).

What three words best describe the narrators’s voice?

Teacher: Good. Learner: Appalling.

Any additional comments?

Seriously, the man "learning" has a horrendous accent in Cantonese, and his so-called cues to help him remember words only reinforce bad pronunciation. Just focus on her!

Reasonable course, occasional music mismatch

The content and presentation of this course is reasonable, although the music underscore sometimes gets a little funky and isn't always well matched to the spoken word. It can become irritating listening over and over, as you need to be able to do for long-term recall.
