August 16, 2007, 07:34 AM posted in General DiscussionI have been using ChinesePod just through itunes and finally subscribed to the website.
There is a lot of great stuff here. I took my level test but i am not sure how to start and make the most out of this online program.
Any techniques you all can suggest? How to use all these tool correctly?
非常感谢！

August 16, 2007, 01:53 PM欢迎 GratefulJamon. I recommend: 1. Go to Lesson Archive. Pick a level you're comfortable with. 2. Proceed to Lesson Sets. Pick something you're interested in. 3. Begin. 4. Repeat ad nauseum.

August 17, 2007, 12:21 AMsweet. I am at intermediate level, even though the test i took said upper- intermediate. I think it was trying to flatter me... Excuter thank you for the program add on. I use 金山， （The pop-up dictionary which i think sometimes is more confusing than useful) But when i need a fast word it works out. I am eager to see what this one offers. Xiaodai, thank you for the suggestions, i will keep a waste basket close by..

August 16, 2007, 12:35 PMWelcome! :-) If you could tell us your level it'll be easier to give you some suggestions. I don't think two persons here use the site in exactly the same way but that's what so great about it. I'm sure people have plenty of suggestions.
