"Making Connections" Listening Comprehension

[Etwood]

I'm not sure if this will be helpful in any way, but a friend of mine bought me a listening comprehension course type thing called "Listening to Mandarin: Themes" by Philip Yungkin Lee. It comes with 4 CDs and a workbook and transcript book. The dialogues are read at native speed (or near-native) and the vocab seems quite up to date as well. Anyone else used this?

It looks like this book is published in HK and not available through amazon.

Maybe someone else will have better luck finding it.

Thanks to all who contributed to this thread. Like many of you, I too am a self learned studier of Mandarin, and after nine months of consistent (more or less) work, I am ready to improve my listening comprehension at the beginners level. Xie xie.
