A lesson to explain Chinesepod
Joachim
November 21, 2007, 10:32 PM posted in General DiscussionI'd like to suggest a lesson to explain Chinesepod and how we use it to learn Chinese etc.
The dialogue could go like:
A: How often have you been to China?
B: This is my first time.
A: How come you are able to communicate that fluently and know so many colloquial and hip expressions?
B: That's easy: I have been studying Chinese with Chinesepod for the last few months.
A: What's Chinesepod?
B goes on to explain what podcasts are and how Chinesepod works and ...
Ok, you get the idea ;-)

Btw: Did you guys have plans for a weather forecast lesson even before I uttered a request in that direction? (see http://chinesepod.com/connections/viewpost/Joachim/connect/New+Topic+Suggestions) If so: What kind of marketing tools or rather clairvoyance techniques do you use? Could you license this to some other industries? :-)
