4.0 out of 5 stars Response to the Nay Sayers:, July 5 2003
By Ash Henson (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
the reviewers who trashed this book were correct in that it doesn't provide enough explanation, but they're also pretty much complaining that a screw-driver makes a bad hammer. This book is a re-writing of dialogues from Spoken Amoy Hokkien which is a great book and goes into great grammatical detail. So, if you buy this as a supplement to Spoken Amoy Hokkien (as it was meant to be) then there's plenty of grammatical explanation.
I've used the Spoken Cantonese courses (both I and II) and they are great. I plan on buying the Spoken Language course for each
new language I learn. The thing is, without the cassettes you'll get nowhere. It's impossible for a Westerner to learn any tonal language without listening to native speakers. If you expect to understand the pronunciation by just buying a book, it's your expectations that are messed up not the book. Perhaps the problem lies in the fact that it isn't explicitly stated on the outside of the book (because it is stated in the forward) that the text is a supplement.
