News

iTunes now has a section on podcast reviews. If you feel like it, go ahead and write up your thoughts about ChinesePod.

I also noticed an Italian podcast site recently. http://www.learnitalianpod.com/ To say that this copies us here at ChinesePod is to put it very midly. The layout is identical, the instructions in the podcasts sound the same, even the fonts and parts of the text are the same!

Actually, we take it as a compliment. Good luck to them.

    The review that is currently on itunes is mine. :) I was going put Bazza, but someone else has already taken that name.

    I recently stumbled upon ChinesePod - thanks for the excellent podcasts!

    I’m an American learning Mandarin, while my wife is Chinese learning English. She enjoys ChinesePod, too, but in reverse, I guess you could say. On a lark, after reading about learnitalianpod, I tried the URL www.englishpod.com… lo and behold I found another ChinesePod emulator - this time teaching English to Mandarin speakers. “Sincerest form of flattery”, I guess!

    Thx for the support Bazza. You’re a star.

    Pang mao, well observed. In fact the EnglishPod site is actually us! I think this approach has real possibilities for the future so we’re going to develop it. Very exciting stuff.

    I really appreciate the feedback.

    我是傻瓜猫! (”Wo shi sha gua mao”, for Unicode-less browsers).

    Yup, discovered it was you once I went back to it. My wife has been enjoying the englishpod site. Now she says “ciao”, and “see you on the flip side”, lol.

    Thanks again!

    I thoroughly enjoy your program — keep it up!

    I subscribe to ChinesePod through iTunes, but would like to receive just the level that I’m working on. It would be nice if I could subscribe individually to either newbie, beginner, intermediate, news, buzzwords, etc — whatever level I’m working on.

    Thanks!
