The new "VIP level"

April 01, 2008 at 06:47 AM posted in General DiscussionI have had the pleasure to pre-test the new CPod "VIP level" for a few hours now and I must say I am impressed - despite some minor glitches.
Only how to earn those "CPod miles" could be made more transparent and some of those extra "ChengRen" lessons seem to be a little over the top. But I really like those "Director's cut" lessons. I so far listened to the 30-minute "Lover's spat" edition - especially those added 3 minutes of silence really add mood.
The audio interface is really cool, but still buggy. I also appreciated that you provide expansion & exercises to all published adsotrans-news. The first person shooter is a bit too gory for my taste.
All in all well done! Can't wait to see it going live.

:P
[I actually would have expected some support from fellow "beta-testers" to make this more convincing...]

yeah, he got me too, like the CPod miles though, the more (free) podcasts you download, the more miles you collect, can redeem by downloading from any of the newer CPod lines, luggage is vocab, make sure it doesn't get stuck at CPod-terminal 5...

Hi henning,
Gee, I didn’t realize it until I read goulniky’s comments. I’m willing to admit that you’ve done a good job. The phrases “a little over the top” and “3 minutes of silence” really made me get interested in “VIP level” lessons, which I thought would certainly motivate me to make more efforts in learning Chinese. Moreover, I even thought that your “CPod miles” would automatically mean an accumulated number of postings.
p.s. I want to believe furyougaijin’s comment.

So it's finally out in testing? After all this talking about it for months...
