Anyone heard of Sinolingua's "Interactive Chinese" course?

[Jun Heng Clinic]

Hi people

I'm looking for a full-featured interactive software package that I can use on the move on my tablet notebook to develop my Chinese (mostly reading, listening and speaking) from the basics up to whatever standard. I'm really just a beginner.

I've just come across something: "Interactive Chinese 8 CD-ROMs + 8CDs + 8 Books" (English edition) published by Sinolingua Beijing ISBN 7-80052-971-1. It's on www.lovemandarin.com at the url:-

priced at USD 87.75 plus postage.

Does anyone know how good this software is? Is there anything better available?

Many thanks for any thoughts.

This is my second (and final) call for anyone who has heard of this product ... or any other electronic courses with wide scope that help one with reading, writing and speaking modern mandarin.

I've looked through the sticky 'Best of Chinese Study Tools' and cannot find anything therein that addresses this need.

Thank you for any contributions!

I've heard of it. Someone tried to sell it to me at Beijing airport. http://www.cnhuawen.com

Its very similar to http://www.hello-han.com which seems to be a dead site. I'm guessing the people that developed Hello Han went on to develop this Interactive Chinese software.
