i 'm fortunate to live in a city that speaks both french and english equally. the satisfaction to switch from one language sentence to another i experience every day. but, i also know that very few of us will achieve native fluency in a second and a third language. best to learn proper everyday conversation first  sure, at a higher level is preferable. for my part, i don't want my new learn language(mandarin) to be less or more than the other two. again my opinion poetry and constant 'your the best' , 'i'm so honored' banter is over the top.

some how i knew bababardwan would be first to agree with useless features (videos and poetry) towards learning conversational mandarin. these are only attempts to force upgrade to premium. i think pete spend to much time at the monastery. pete,do you just reply to positive comments and not barto's.

bababardwan, rjberki you are brain wash ChinesePod is not end to all ends.

mmysdf, http://www.rocketlanguages.com/chinese/

and http://www.chineselearnonline.com/ are just as efficient without the over the top complimentary host banter and comments section.

certainly  http://us.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php is a better dictionary than chinesepod dict.

chinesepod is a great tool and i use it

light487 says @licha - not sure what you mean? not surprise, my point exactly henning, not surprise either, you're one of the main 'daily chit/chat polluter' gesang, sometimes you have to cut to the chase.

well, we have another polluter (unrelated chit-chat) in light487. you sound like a 8yrs old toddler > are you sure you are mature enough to use this mandarin learning podcast? i'm still hoping to learn a few extra vocabulary in pinyin by reading 'comments'
