Published by November 13th, 2007 in ChinesePod, Innovation and Mobile learning. 1 CommentChinesePod users understand that learning Chinese is a fun and rewarding challenge. But what if you need to speak Chinese, like now? And you haven’t learned it at all yet? And the taxi driver is waiting for you to tell him where to go, in Chinese?

Chinese is increasingly the language of global business. The world’s most spoken language is also the language of the world’s hottest economy, and knowledge of Mandarin is quickly becoming an essential skill in the repertoire of modern businesspeople.
The ChinesePod Practice Plan perfectly complements the portable ChinesePod lessons, providing reinforcement of material already learned and […]
One of the things that first drew me to FireFox a few years ago was its integrated search box. Being able to search Google or Yahoo without actually going to the page was a huge improvement, and has probably saved me hundreds of hours over the years.

Your Favorite ChinesePod Lessons

(Sure, if we wanted to, we might also count the 52 Saturday Show episodes or the 27 Extra lessons, but we’re far too modest for that.) For some, such a prolific two years of lesson creation might be cause for tooting one’s own horn, but […]
Over the past few months we at Praxis Language have been considering various ways to put the Home page to good use on both SpanishSense and ChinesePod. Today we have launched a new version of the SpanishSense Home page which displays more lessons and more links to those lessons.
This is the previous version of the […]
Huzzah for the ChinesePod Dictionary!
