As I've just started using it, I'll make just a few quick observations on this course.
This is the first TY course that I've seen that gives full translations of the dialogues, in addition to the normal word for word translations. This makes it similar in style to the Colloquial courses. I really wish that other TY courses would do something similar. They've continued these translations through every unit, unlike the Colloquial courses which tend to stop after Unit 5 or 6 .

The accompanying audio isn't track divided as nicely as TY Estonian. The audio is like most other TY courses with one track per unit. This makes the Introduction annoying, as there's about 5 minutes of language learning waffle before the pronunciation guide. They really should've put this on a separate track.

I've given up on TY. I just bought Complete Cantonese and the quality of the audio was terrible. I also have the Mandarin course and it doesn't include audio for all the chapters.

I've also given up on TY for the most part. However, for my latest two languages it was difficult to find many other resources.
