I also think it isn't a good development that native Chinese have no possibility to hear the podcats and to comment/help the learners - unless they pay.
It would be great to help other learners of my native language, and to be helped by native Chinese in my learning here - a true network of learners!

i am surprised that many people here compare CP's price (basic/premium) with the price of private one-to-one lessons.
If one does this, one should compare the CP executive plan with the price of private lessons.
In CP alone (basic/premium) you are still on your own, nobody corrects you, you nearly never speak, learn nearly no grammar, don't learn how to write....
CP's podcasts are great, but it's only a small facet within Chinese language learning.

September 01, 2008, 01:23 PMThe sentence of the day:
"Subscription is sexy"
;-)
The nice thing is, one can now see who pays or not. All posts in lesson threads above Newbie from now on are from payers only...
It will be very interesting to see how many posts will be in those "closed" threads, especially in lessons published after Sept. 1. How big is the community of paying learners really?
Another point: downtime a few hours ago was far too long. If people pay they expect nearly 24/7 uptime. :-(

I'm now over a year into the Practice Plan and those short conversations 4 times a week have boosted my confidence and ultimately my ability to speak.
I think that a lot of learners here are eager to read more about your experiences and your progress with the Practice Plan. Is it worth the money? How much time do you need and what do you do to get the best benefit out of it?

May 15, 2007, 11:15 AM@ John, would it be possible to recommend some easier Intermediate lessons, which are suited for Intermediate beginners. Thanks in advance.

September 02, 2008, 08:53 PMAs CP podcasts at my level aren't freely available anymore and no subscription type makes sense for me (as I use CP only from time to time), I just want to thank ChinesePod for everything they published at no cost in the last years. It helped me a lot and it improved my Chinese.
You should think about subscription offerings for people (like me) who want to download only one or two lessons (with the HTML text) in a month.
For me, it's now time to leave.
BYE BYE ChinesePod and THANK YOU!
