thanks JohnB. It's really helpful when you post a message like this as otherwise one keeps trying to work out why you can't get onto the lesson pages, thinking maybe the problem is on our end.
Interesting that you've posted this under Chinese music, hehe. Per...
This will be my first visit to China, a lady friend and her family. I have read that presenting gifts to people is a good way of honoring them and breaking the ice.
My question is what sort of gifts from the USA would be well received, not too expensive and no...

I'm late to this thread... I apologize if that's frowned upon here. ): I should really log into the forums more often.
Does anybody else think he's really hard to understand? Some Chinese singers I can kind of understand but others, like Jay, I can't understa...

I haven't really looked for such resources, but we'd be glad to help on ChinesePod. Just ask us in community and we can also do some lessons about it if you give us specific requirements.

As a new sinophile, I cannot read anything of the cultural context this might have. My comprehension is just not enough. Is this from the 80s? Is this really bad state entertainment? Who ...

Here's a funny song that I've just come across. Three 老外 （英国人）sing about their intention of learning Chinese.

Interesting. I was thinking that it was obvious why I'm posting this, but since you're asking, it probably isn't.
Initially, I was thinking of how incredibly convenient the Beijing bus schedule is I was thinking that it would be helpful for tourists in Bei...

Just to clarify 我要钱 is the name of the song.. so "I need money" or "I want money". It's a relatively simple little some with a great beat and funky jazz style. They sing mandarin but the characters are traditional so I am assuming they are from Taiwan.. but I'...

Go east! Train to Hualien-Taroko Gorge. Or rent a car if you can get a few people together. And parts of the Su Hua Highway most definitely rival California's Pacific Coast Highway for scenery, but there was a serious landslide on it recently so may not be saf...
