" The result is fabulous...

The HyperChina software is imaginative, complete and effective as an introductory computer-assisted Chinese language course. The lessons are both pedagogically well-designed and entertaining. The sections on background information and cultural lessons are also very worthwhile. Aesthetically speaking, the software is pleasing to the eye, and the visual and audio features are appropriate to the subject, they help to create an environment conducive to the study of Chinese...

It is the accretion of these kinds of carefully thought out and executed details that, in part, makes the HyperChina program feel so right. Students who choose to use this software will come away feeling that learning Chinese is enjoyable and interesting. "
