It would probably be helpful as a revision aid though, and is better than textbook work, so I'll send you some links. It's all quite straightforward so far, but, as I haven't got to the more advanced content yet, I'm not sure how useful it will be to you.
Edit- Just loaded up Mandarin 3, and it seems to be quite work based (office stuff, etc.), which might be what you're after.

It has articles in beginner, intermediate and advance categories and all the text is interactive so if you don't know a word or character you can just scroll over it and find its meaning and pronunciation.

I did GCSE French, which taught me about as much as I'd need to know on holiday, but I want to get my French up to a decent standard.
I can still remember a lot of the basics, which I'm guessing will help, but the trick is finding the best way of continuing to learn and taking it to the next level. Any recommendations on courses/books/CDs/etc?
