There have been a number of stories in the local Chinese-language press about problems at the Kaien language schools here in Shanghai. It appears to be a very unfortunate situation for everyone involved - students, teachers, partners and management.

To set the record straight, Kaien and Praxis Language are two completely separate entities. The 50+ staff here at ChinesePod/Praxis Language have been unaffected by these external events. In fact, we are very busy working on new lessons, new tools and new services to help our students continue to learn Chinese.

Please let me know if there are any other questions about this.

Thanks,

Hank Horkoff, Praxis Language CEO
