A customer review from amazon.com:

“This is a good book if you really want to learn the language and have alot of time. It organizes everything by subject (time, shopping, etc.) with a list of vocabulary and dialogues. There are complete translations for any new phrases, plus they explain grammar so you really understand what you are saying and can apply it later on with new words you learn. The exercises are a little difficult until you really have a handle on the new words and phrases. You may not like this if you are going to Hong Kong and want to learn fast. This also teaches Hong Kong dialect, so there are some differences from Mainland Cantonese (my boyfriend's family is from Canton) but there is nothing that won't be understood anyway. It really explains the tones and I have been told by native speakers that my pronounciation is very good.”

At this latter site I've also read a negative review (after the many positive ones) saying that "for a difficult language like Chinese the approach used in this series is quite unsuitable for beginners." I just want to assure you that this is simply not true. I had learnt Mandarin Chinese from the manual of this series (you can download it at /ebooks/colloquial-chinese-beginner.html), and now I'm learning Cantonese from this book, and it has gone quite well.

I have earlier uploaded this book as a torrent file, nevertheless I upload it here as well as a pair to my previous Colloquial Chinese.
