I’ve listened to most of the Mandarin language podcasts since they began emerging on the new media scene, and the good news is that they all have something to offer to the Mandarin language learning community. Being a part of this community, I appreciate the fact that choice among content providers is a good thing for all of us to have. When it comes to the Mandarin language, itself, like any language, it’s made up of the same words regardless of who is teaching it. Of course, which teaching methodology you prefer will depend upon your learning style.
I've been with you for about 2 months and I think your course is the best available !
I'm interested in Chinese culture. I spend about an hour and a half each day commuting by car, and I was looking for something to do with that time rather than waste it. I hit upon learning Mandarin via podcasts. I think I found your site by a random Google search. I tried "chinesepod"... they are good too, but because your approach is much more progressive I'm learning a lot more from you, and it's sticking !
Hi -just wanna let you know how satisfied I am with this course. I can't believe I am at lesson 24 and I simply enjoy. Yesterday I had a short conversation on a flight with a Chinese stewardess - it works, she understood! Thanks for precise lessons with humourous remarks put in for good measure. All the best and keep up the good work!
Hi guys. I'm subscribed to your course and making good progress. I congratulate you highly on this course. I've studied many languages in many ways, and I think you have a very effective product here. I can learn Chinese from this!!
I've been working onwards in your course, and I studied up to about lesson 90 in detail.
CLO is progressive so it helps reminding the bases and the written language (thanks to the new feature that teaches how to write the characters). It is also a real online "tutor", and everyone knows that repetition is the only way to learn a foreign language with efficiency. I also use Chinesepod as a complement for spoken language. I think these two chinese podcasts should not be considered as competitors, but as complementary tools. I hadn't spoken chinese for three years until I found your website. I am so happy to recover my former level and even more.
