Podcast feed issues

January 21st, 2010

There seem to be some issues with podcast feed this week. If it doesn’t work for you, please try to download lessons directly from the Website or order a DVD with all lessons. I’m investigating the problem.

Thanks,

Serge

Tip for Mac Users

November 10th, 2009

Here is the tip I’d like to share on how to quickly locate the transcripts on your Mac. In recent lesson’s PDF transcripts I may often say please see lesson xxx for a word that we have already studied. So what’s the fastest way to locate it, especially if you forgot this word and need to look it up in the transcript?

You can use the spotlight feature of your Mac OS to locate any transcript on your computer within seconds, just type the number of lesson, e.g. L59 in the spotlight window.

Website Updates

June 17th, 2009

Hi guys,

I have made some changes to the Website (well….again:-))
I have removed the redirect to the page you used to see after logging in. So now every time you
login, you will be redirected to your member control panel. The link to all PDF
transcripts is located on the left side, under the link “Your
Subscriptions”.

Thank You!

Serge

Some Updates

June 12th, 2009

Hello everyone!

I have edited the audio lesson 158 and added English Translation to the dialog. So, please, re-download the updated version of it.

I’d like to thank Simon Milne from Hongkong who provided his feedback to me.
If you have any feedback, please let me know!

Also, I am going to change the format of future lessons starting from L159. English translations are coming back to the situational dialog, also, the dialog will be explained as we go, that is all new or old vocab, expressions etc. will be presented right there, after you hear the whole sentence in Mandarin. And, of course, I will still let you listen to the Mandarin only version so you can ‘listen and repeat’.

Have a good day!

Serge
