While poking around in the beta version of Yahoo’s new Podcast search engine, I tripped over Ken Carrol’s ChinesePod podcast in which he, his partner Jenny Zhu, and their ultra-soothing voices take you on a no nonsense trip down the rabbit hole that is Mandarin Chinese. Weekly listening to this truely innovative podcast will have you saying nee-how-ma at the drop of a hat.

Be sure and check out the free trial of their premium service which includes a PDF transcript, and review questions of each lesson.

ChinesePod is an online tool to help you study Chinese. Listen to free daily podcasts on your media device (phone, mp3 player, pda, computer). Then, if you want, pay for premium features to help reinforce what you heard.

There is no need for inconveniently scheduled and inconveniently located classroom lessons. Learn Chinese when are where is most convenient for you.
