Hello everyone,
I have only a few things to say this week. First off, I can say that I am happy with using ChinesePod to learn Chinese. Sure, they are not perfect, but they seem decent as any site that I have found. I will continue to praise them, and wish them success. I hope to someday visit their office if I am ever in Shanghai.
I had a great week as far as Chinese studies are concerned! This is in light of having a moderately heavy academic load to carry as well. I didn't work this weekend, so I was able to contribute more time to studying that I normally would have. I have studied over 100 lessons (actually, it is more than that, but using the idiosyncratic tracking method that I am, I temporarily disregard those studies that I have studied but not annotated... long story... and it isn't significant), and I find on most days, I study two new lessons.
Hell yeah, still always into something, heart still in Compton.. Opps! wrong blog! This is the Chinese learning blog, not the rap blog.
Well, as you can see, I am in an irregular mood tonight so I will get going. But before I do, I just one more thing to say. I have bought colored index cards, and now I have a huge stack of blank flashcards for my future lessons.
Peace.
Dear George, found your blog after reading a little on Chinese Pod. Glad to hear you are studying Chinese so enthusiastically. I have been studying 中文一些年。我住在Delmar, NY. I was wondering how thgis Chinese Pod system works? Do you practice speaking in a group in our Albany area? I will be away for 3 weeks starting Friday but you can e-mail me at edxaide@gmail.com.

Hi Ed,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to have someone following my progress! Delmar is close to Albany, but somewhat far from where I live. I live in North Adams, Ma. I havent found anyone in the local area to do speaking practice with yet, but maybe something like that will happen.
As far as Chinesepod, they would be better to answer your inquiries than I would. I will say that I have been using them and I enjoy the lesson. I will, at some point, send an email. I haven't done much studying in the past week on account of other responsibilities. Those responsibilities will end soon, whereupon I plan to start the studies again. Talk to you later.
