After some research and secret testing, I decided to launch a Chinese teaching podcast blog at a separate domain. The podcast will mainly focus on people who never learned any Chinese. The service teaches everyday conversations and will be absolutely free of charge.

The whole course will start with simple greetings and then extend into longer and more challenging situational modules. I plan to give a 5-10 minute class each week with accompanying text materials such as new word list, additional vocabulary and other relevant information.

Since the course will be a one-man show - at least in the beginning - to prevent listeners getting bored quickly, I will try to make each class as short, useful and interesting as possible. While I’m preparing (finding sound clips, writing syllabus, etc.) for the formal launch of the podcast, as always I appreciate any suggestions from you. Although this service is of an amateur nature, I’d like to ensure its quality. ;)

Stay tuned!

    Hello hello! I haven’t been by in awhile, but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten about you. The last time we chatted, your teaching videos were just an idea, so I’m thrilled to see you putting it into play. I can’t wait to check them out. Congratulations!

    Hey Carrie,

    Nice to see you dropping by again. The program is still in private private beta. It’s fashionable now to use private beta and invites :D

    For the last month the projects on hand have been crazy and I couldn’t find any time for the project nor blogging. I’m hoping things will sort out soon and I can get back to blog first, then the project. :P

    Jia you!

    I would love to see you get this off the ground!

    As a native speaker of English living in China I really applaud anyone who seeks to spread knowledge to people.

    KEEP IT UP!

    加油！

    Thanks :)

    My partner and I are settling in a new office in downtown Tianjin, so these days are so busy that I almost stopped taking care of this blog and the Chinese teaching program. I hope we can settle down as quick as possible and everything’s back on track again soon. :)
