I have to admit I’m not a big fan of Ken’s Chinese. He makes a lot of pronunciation mistakes which could inadvertantly influence newbies in a negative way.

I know it’s his show and all, but he should maybe just stick to speaking English and giving the English definitions of words etc leaving all Chinese to the natives.

Apart from that it’s a great resource for high frequency and useful words and expressions. Many of which you won’t find easily in a book as it is street slang and idiomatic ways of speaking

Does anyone else find Ken really annoying… that constant flirting with Jenny is rubbish and he just comes across as a pathetic old man

Randomwanderer: I would say Chinesepod is actually best for newbies and beginners (just like a lot of formal study material–I think once you’re at the advanced stage it’s often more useful to study on your own anyway).

But, yeah, the newbie through upper-intermediate lessons on Chinesepod are some the best you can find anywhere.

@JB: Thanks to friends in high places, I’ll be checking it out very soon. Expect to read my thoughts on my studies there semi-frequently around here.

@RandomWanderer: ChinesePod is fantastic for beginners. They run four (more?) levels – newbie, beginner, intermediate and advanced. They’ve a lil’ somethin’ for everyone.
