Pretty good, but not the same as RS Aug 13, 2010
By David A. Bielby
"Ev Xpistw"
This version of the product is just the audio files. A good value no doubt and worth acquiring. My review reflects the audio AND the video portions of this product which are also sold as a combo unit.
I am no language training expert, but I have spent a lot of time with various products offering to teach me Mandarin this year. So far this is probably my favorite product. My package says that this product is as effective as RosettaStone for a fraction of the cost. I think so far I would agree with that. However, it does not have all the features that RS has. What it does have though is a more practical vocabulary list.
For example in the first lesson on CD1 for RS you get to learn how to say Elephant, Soccer ball and a few other words. The three times I was in a Chinese speaking nation, I never ran into an Elephant. I did not see a soccer field. However with Instant Immersion Mandarin I learned the words for Taxi, Bus, Bicycle all right away. These things are everywhere every day. So from my perspective I am learning more practical words immediately with this product.
The second thing about this product is that you get an awful lot of stuff for your money. I was able to purchase my set of the three levels at a bookstore. It included a DVD, audio files (which are pretty nice to listen to in my opinion), and all the cd's for the three levels on a laptop (6 cd's-two for each level).
There is a pleasant alternation between a male and female voice. The graphics are cheesy. But they have worked harder at the motivational side of things by offering an easy and a hard game for every level. You have a log in name and you are told to earn a certain number of points. The idea here is to test you with multiple choices. The one difference in this that I think they should change...offer the choices as pictures like RS does. Instead, Instant Immersion offers you English words. I think it's better to tie our vocabulary to pictures in every aspect of language training. I was disappointed with that aspect of the training.
The other key difference is that you do not have voice recognition to analyze how you are saying words. BUT from my perspective that was one of the things I didn't like about RS...the voice recognition features that I used on RS were not very good. So I stopped using that feature.
I also like a feature on the lessons where you can set the vocab list to play the words rapidly while you look at the flashcard of the photo.
Things missing that might be nice if they had: Traditional Characters (as used in Taiwan and other places).
Better graphics. Voice recognition (if they could get it to work well).
I think this product is a deal and highly recommend it. I do think that Pimsleur and perhaps Berlitz may be good additions to help you get conversational aspects flowing better, and that Vocabulearn is a good option. I don't know if that's available in cd, it's rather old, but very effective for building vocabulary. I would not recommend RS over this product because of the cost barrier and the choice of vocabulary that RS offers...yes elephants make for interesting pictures, but are we really going to see a lot of them on our trips to Asia?
