Michel Thomas Mandarin Chinese Vocabulary Course
The Michel Thomas Mandarin Chinese Vocabulary course has been recorded, edited and is scheduled for release in the UK in August, 2009. It will not be sold in the North America.
Those outside of the UK may order it via Amazon.co.uk, download it from Audible.com or get it directly from the publisher, Hodder and Arnold. My understanding is that Amazon discounts it and, for North Americans, the delivery service is quite good in my own experience.
This is the third and probably the last part of a complete course. If you do the Beginner ( Foundation), Advanced and Vocabulary courses you will have the complete course for spoken Mandarin. The essential patterns and necessary vocabulary will be yours to use in any way you choose. It is basically a course in how to communicate in Mandarin.
A lot of work went into the preparation of this course. You will learn many new words, expressions and more Chinese patterns which will bring your command of spoken Mandarin to an even higher level.
It is especially geared to those who travel to Mandarin-speaking parts of the world. I use it a lot in my local interactions here in the States with Mandarin speakers. There are more and more Chinese speakers everywhere I go. Many of them speak Mandarin though it may not be their native language.
They are absolutely delighted when I speak with them in Chinese.
I hope you enjoy the course and let me know how it goes for you.

I am still working on Chinese Foundation CDs but looking forward to jump into Advance and Vocabulary Courses.
So far they are the best courses of Chinese language for self study I have ever tried!
Once question to you in relation to the Chinese Mandarin series. Do you consider to work on and publish Chinese Mandarin Language Builder CDs ?
Hi, CePeeS
My publisher, Hodder, in the UK has a formula for their Michel Thomas courses which consists of three levels. So this will be the final level.
Thanks so much for your feedback. I love to hear from students!

Dear Dr. Harold Goodman,
Having tried other competing methods this year, I feel your product was the one that spoke to my soul.
Since using your product, I've improvised and built on my knowledge of Chinese by visiting Chinese websites, finding like-minded friends on these websites, and having a series of daily videoconferences.
I am very confident in my spoken Chinese as a result of using these CDs. These CDs are the best known starting point for a prospective speaker of Chinese. Your program definitely lays the ultimate framework for an autodidact to gain just enough through guided study that they can begin learning more on their own.
Thank you sir! If you ever upgrade this series with additional content, I will be sad if the cast is changed -- but I will still buy it! I feel as though I learned and laughed with these students.
Sincerely,
-A student of 22 years who is going to spend two years in China
