Mismo Niza esto será mi nuevo podcast preferido a escuchar durante mi paseo del tren el trabajo. Apenas tengo un comentario.
Kiran suena como ella es un pequeño a lejano del mic, que hicieron le un poco duro calcular hacia fuera la pronunciación de algunas de las palabras. Realmente tengo gusto de cuando Adán pronuncia la palabra porque él suena como él es un pequeño más cercano al mic.

¡Gracias por la regeneración! El problema del micrófono de Kirin (esperanzadamente) ha estado fijado para lecciones más últimas. ¡Sepamos lo que usted piensa!

Convengo con Jorge Mendez. Soy una hembra con una voz profunda y por lo tanto, la voz de Adán está MÁS CLARA a mí para la pronunciación. Recomendaría que Kiran dice el verso/la palabra. Y entonces Adán, entonces silencia para que practiquemos. Amaría oír el pronunciate de la voz de Adán las palabras y contra. Me da una idea de una qué voz más profunda suena como cuando se hablan las palabras.
Picosegundo. Lo amo, también, cuando Adán dice la materia como, “no es ése que interesa?” Da a podcasts personalidad.
Continúe el buen trabajo.
Pienso que voy a firmar para arriba para lunes contento superior. He estado escuchando con las lecciones una a 4 diarios esta semana.
Lo amo.
Another suggestion, if I may……in your notes, or premium notes….
adding the phonetic English sounds to the words. For example, zia = zeeah OR xie xie = shyeah shyeah. I was doing this with lessons one and two. It helped me ALOT!!

Do you know how do down load on a CD or DVD? I don’t have an IPOD

Deborah, there is a ‘download’ link at the bottom of the player above. Right click on this link and choose ‘Save as.’ This will save it on your computer. From there, you are free to burn it on to CD or DVD if you wish. Use the Contact Us link on the right sidebar if you have any problems.

I just found your site and checked out lesson 52; I would like to know more about advanced lessons. I have been learing Mandarin for about two years and I primarily need more listening tools and longer conversations. Your approach seems to be good. Any suggestions?
January 12th, 2007 at 7:30 pm
Hi Pete. Every 30 lessons, I will be increasing the difficulty slightly by adding more Chinese within the lesson. Expect the next jump in lesson 61. The goal is to eventually be able to conduct most of the lesson in Chinese. I will also be adding more resources to the website in the form of music and videos to give you other forms of input. If you have any suggestions for anything specific you think would be of benefit, please send them this way.

Thanks for your reply; I’ve found that listening is definitely the hardest part for me, even after two years of serious study and many visits to China. So many accents and different ways of saying things plus context is extremely important. By the way, how do you pay for this site? Premium subscribers? I don’t see many adds.
January 16th, 2007 at 2:05 am
Currently all the revenue used to support this website comes from Premium subscribers. However I’m looking to change the model over the next little while to allow me to have more content available on the “free” side, without having to resort to traditional ads so stay tuned!

Es increíble esto del chino. Gracias!

That was great!

This podcast is awesome. I’ve only been learning Mandarin for a week, so my pronunciation is still completely off, but using this podcast I’m improving ^_^
Thanks so much for this!!

I like everything about this.

[…] For example, I’m currently trying to learn Chinese - I’m learning it by podcast. The little experience I have in teaching languages I know the importance of practice and repetition. So in this respect the podcasts have been invaluable in supporting a largely behaviourist mode of teaching. In defence of the authors there are extensive notes and the language learning is embedded in meaningful contexts. […]

[…] Mientras que el podcast en inglés comienza enseñando a distinguir los cuatro tonos de la lengua china (la misma palabra puede significar, según el tono: cerdo, cocinar, vivir o bambú), el podcast en castellano (Aprendiendo chino mandarín mientras se monta en bicicleta), como la mayoría de los cursos de idiomas, empieza por enseñarnos a saludar, dejando la cuestión de los tonos para la segunda lección.

Excellent I hope to learn basic chinese trought this method

The first word sounds like you are saying choo but the spelling zhu would make me think that it is supposed to sound like zoo…Why is this? Am I hearing that correctly? Is it supposed to sound like choo or zoo?
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:26 pm
Hi Eric,
I would say that the version you are hearing is probably closer to a “joo” sound. Different speakers from different regions will have slightly different ways of pronouncing it. In later lessons you will hear speakers from other regions as well, which will hopefully give you a better understanding of the different possibilities.

Thank you for your help. I would like to make a suggestion, though. Can you put a Pinyin consonant and vowel pronunciation chart online that makes a more simplified and more actual conversion of the actual sound? I do not mean to be nit picking on an already established writing system, but it does not seem to me that the actual pronunciation matches the latin letters that are being used.
August 24th, 2007 at 12:09 am
Thanks Eric. Others have also expressed interest in something similar so I’ll add it to my “to do” list.
September 8th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Thank you for your help. Very interesting Podcast.

Hi. Thank you for this. It is helpful so far. Could you help me translate something into pinyin please. I’m supposed to be going to Taiwan at the end of this month for a community tourism workshop. The english statement I wish to translate to mandarin is:
“A democratic Taiwan that shows sacred regard for the inalienable Rights and Freedoms of man is to be preferred above any socialist system that interferes with these Rights and Freedoms”
September 24th, 2007 at 10:29 am
Anesia,
It would be something along the lines of:
Mínzhǔde Táiwān bǐ shèhuì zhǔyì zhìdù de guójiā gēng néng kànzhòng rénmínde quánlì yú zìyóu.
September 24th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
Thank you. This is what I got from someone who works in the embassy in my country here.
zi you min zhu Taiwan chong shang chi ban ren quan, quan sheng guo na xie gan she ren men quan li han zi you de gong chan guo jia.
I have not put in the tones as u can see. Does the above translation give the same meaning? whats the difference between that and the one you gave me? Thank you for your help. It is precious to me right now.

My version says: Democratic Taiwan thinks more of people’s rights and freedoms than socialist countries.
Your version says: Free and democratic Taiwan upholds human rights while communist countries interfere with people’s rights and freedoms.
(A little advanced for lesson 1 of my course, but hopefully it helped)
