From a forum post:

Posted 01 February 2006 – 06:34 AM
I have completed Pimsleur’s Mandarin I, and have started on Mandarin II. Carl T. Limsico’s “Chinese Companion I” does only cover Mandarin I, making further progress more difficult. There are transcripts of the intro-dialogs from each unit af Mandarin II and III (http://ezmandarin.com/) but there is no vocabulary. I will share my vocabulary notes on Mandarin II in this thread. I hope others will benefit, and most of all I hope for corrections and help when needed.

Really thanks a lot

Thanks for sharing…

Please forward me a copy of your hard work. I am looking for 2 and 3. Thank you.

Hi. Please send me the transcripts of all 3 levels. Thank you! You are doing a great job! :)

I would also like a transcript for all levels.
Xiexie!!

please please please!! Send me a Pimsleur transcript!!

If Pimsleur was smart, they would include transcripts in their overpriced courses. I don’t think it is copyright infringement to distribute self-study materials that the publisher does not choose to include in their course. That is just ridiculous. So I suppose that university lecture handouts are copyright infringement as well!!

Hi, thank you for your help. I would love to have the transcripts for all 3 levels. Thanks!

Please send me, too
