You are all doing the world a great service. I began learning Chinese when I was a graduate student in Chinese History in 1975 because in the US Chinese was not taught in high school or undergraduate except in very few schools. Now it is everywhere and I couldn't be happier. Chinesepod is an excellent way to learn spoken Mandarin and you all do such a great job. Great to see Ken finally. The NBC Nightly News piece was right on the mark but about 35 years too late. Keep up the good work. Jennie, Ken, John et al.

My wife had the experience of leading a 5th grade English class near Pu Cheng. The kids were very enthusiastic and their English writing is better than kids here in the US. I am happy that Chinese is getting the exposure shown in the NBC program. I pushed for Chinese to be taught at our local college for three years. I sent in info on how important Chinese was and hounded the administration. Last spring we got the first semester of Chinese. This fall the same first semester class was repeated with the hope of getting enough students to have a second semester class. I like real classes as I can get feedback on how badly I pronounce Chinese. However, Chinese Pod is needed because a couple of classes a week is just not enough. The three weeks in China helped and I actually was understood by people, but in many cases I got back strange looks. Most of this was caused by not getting the tones right. I am wondering how can Chinese Pod help me in this regard? In any case it is fantastic that Chinese is getting the airtime and that Chinese Pod is helping to lead the way. I have also seen Chinese Pod referred to in a number of economics magazines, so Ken and Jenny you are become a world force. Maybe we will be able to even have a third and forth semester of Chinese at our college if you keep up the good work!

My language is czech and slovac and the chinese im studying through english. The chinese pronuntiation and sense of the word is based on the tones and the music, (very agresive)that I have to hear during the conversation is disturbing me very much, because the music are the tones too. I would like hear the dialogs without any music beside. Thank you Marian Adamus Dear friends!
