Here, native Mandarin speakers teach you Chinese as a second language. Audio and transcripts are available on the website. The lessons also place an emphasis on understanding Chinese culture.
Cool!! If anyone is looking to see how a hangout could work, and you speak Spanish or Chinese, maybe try this out!
The idea is simple: I want to host a public Hangout (so anyone can join) and people may come in and practice with me any one of the three languages I speak (Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and yes English too!). I’m not counting Japanese yet because I still can’t really produce Japanese effectively.
I like to share this blog with teachers who are teaching Chinese. It has many great apps and creative tools to help students learning Pinyin, which can be the most difficult initial hurdle to get over in learning Chinese.
