I started studying Chinese 4 years ago, evening classes first. I discovered ChinesePod a few months after they started and have been using the website since then. I have made an enormous progress in these 4 years, progressing from newbie to intermediate level. I want to be very thoorough in mu studies, my ultimate aim is to be able to communicate with chinese people about culture, philosophy, science, politics, daily life, etc. So, I am learning hanzi too, and I have been using other resources, especially in the beginning years when chinesepod.com was not as good as it is today. I gave myself 10 years to reach an effective level of communication...still 6 years to go.
