Thanks Josh. I have listened to the Dialogue and Expansion tab sentences. They still sound rather slow and stilted to me.

I want to listen to the Chinese only, but at a natural speed. Where is this available?

I totally agree. These last few newbie dialogue lessons are brilliant, but could be a couple of short sentences longer. Looking forward to similar lessons for elementary and intermediate levels! P.S. Joe and Joy, you are doing a great job of presenting the material!

I keep looking for new dialogue lessons, but I disappointed that I can't find any. Are new dialogue lessons ever going to happen in elementary and intermediate?

I agree！ We need to have the correct tone for the meaning in the current context.

“淡季” – water on two fires season – cool!

What's happening with the dialogue? I could not find one, just a lot of brand names.

I'm mostly studying intermediate lessons. In this category there are some other John Pasden lessons that I love! They go up to 2013.

Thanks Taimafan and Elijah,

I only keep my membership for past lessons. The best ones are indeed those produced between 2008 and 2010. I have found few others that I want to learn from in depth. It would be good to be able to pay for a subscription to only these older lessons!

Thanks Elijah, for posting this comment. I am in total agreement with your thoughts on ChinesePod. I have been able to find nothing that compares with CP's earlier lessons in teaching learners how to speak Chinese in a natural way. My Chinese friends also agree with you!
