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
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
Hi everyone! If you haven’t yet downloaded the recent lesson, lesson 156 “Feng Shui”, you can find it at the very end of the podcast list in iTunes or on my Website. Stay Tuned!
Please login and download your PDF transcripts for lessons 150 and 151.
Lesson 150 The Weather Report PDF transcript and worksheet coming later tonight, thank you for your patience
We are doing the re-design of melnyks.com and there might be some issues with accessing the website, please forgive me if something stops working. If you can’t temporarily log in right now, please email me. I’m working on it.
***Update*** The work is finished, all works as it should, if you still find any bugs, please let me know!
There is an article in Metro News covering our podcast and Mandarin Chinese lessons.
Here is the link:

My apologies, but it looks like there is a temporary problem with the server where I host audio files. They are working on fixing this problem and the service should be restored soon. Meanwhile the most recent lesson, lesson 141 is still available for download.
*Update* Jan 17, 09. All is fixed and working fine.
*Update* Sat 12:29AM PST. Seems I’m not the only one, some other language podcasts on iTunes have also been affected by this “bug”.
Please accept my apologies, but lesson 130 is going to be postponed until next week due to some technical issues. Make sure you often check the website and calendar for the exact lesson schedule.
