We enter November with a fully upgraded Academic Management System (AMS) - this will enable us to make a variety of upgrades such as placement and level tests. We also have a mission to improve the Community section of ChinesePod.com, so we'd love to receive your feedback. This week we have a Newbie lesson on time differences, Upper Intermediate Poddies will apply for loans in Mandarin, and Intermediates shall be learning more medical related Chinese. For those Advanced Series lovers out there we bring you the 3rd in the Murder Case series. Don't miss out on the ChinesePod Newbie Meet-Up in Shanghai this Wednesday, November 4th, at Malone's.
