Pimsleur Chinese Level 1 (30 lessons)
The thirty half hour lessons of the level 1 can take you from zero to an intermediate-low level of communication, which is characterized by the ability to participate in simple and direct conversations on everyday topics, in everyday situations; by being able to satisfy immediate needs, such as ordering food and making simple purchases; and by being able to establish rapport with strangers in a foreign country.

The thirty half hour lessons of the level 2 can take you from a intermediate-low to an intermediate-mid level of communication, which is characterized by creative ability in the target language and by being able to communicate personal meaning to native speakers by combining and recombining known elements and conversational input to correctly form sentences of increasing length.
